=='''Le’Mar Davis, Human Resource Advisor, The Advancement Center for EDIA, Public Prosecution Service of Canada'''==

=='''Allison Somenzi, Business Manager and Human Resources Administrator, Chief Professional Conduct and Culture, National Defence'''==

<big>Le’Mar Davis was reinspired by the LLMC program following the results of the Black Executive Study within the federal government: “LLMC highlighted the need for leaders like me to inspire other leaders to continue to create positive and motivational change through a restorative and culturally competent lens within mentorship and sponsorship.”</big>

<big>“If you don’t feel like you belong in this world, it’s because you were born to create a new one.” – Inspiring words from LLMC participant Allison Somenzi, a proud Swiss Canadian woman with the resilience required to overcome her own life’s challenges and to support those trying to overcome theirs.</big>

<big>As a decorated military veteran, Le’Mar strongly believes in the power of mentorship and sponsorship, explaining that “sharing wisdom and experiences on top of the education most leaders have will create a more empathetic, culturally competent, and operationally sound organization.”</big>

<big>Allison registered for LLMC to become a more effective leader and decision-maker when navigating complex, multifaceted issues: “I joined LLMC because I believe in the power of mentorship and the importance of fostering meaningful connections that drive growth.”</big>  

<big>Le’Mar is also working towards a Ph.D. of Management in Executive and Global Leadership, where he will harness the tools he gained through the LLMC program to “provide leadership development opportunities to existing, new and aspiring leaders as well as providing a mentoring program that will benefit all employment equity deserving groups.”</big>

<big>LLMC provided Allison with a unique opportunity for personal and professional growth while contributing to a broader mission of empowerment and change. She added that her role “within this program is not only about my own growth but also about contributing to a collective mission of lifting others.”</big>
