From Women's
Shelter to CEO

What if I told you that this all started
from the bed of a women’s shelter in
Vancouver, BC when I was 21?

Maybe Evio’s story can help break a stigma; Evio was created from the bed of a shelter when I made the difficult choice to leave anunhealthy relationship with $15 and a laptop. It was a full shelter which meant I lived in a shared room and 29 other women in a secured house with one bathroom. I cherished every moment I had for selfcare. The shelter team and volunteers would often say, “Brandi won’t be here for long.” In turn I told myself, “I can’t be here for long.”
