In 2022, Blaise was selected to represent Canada at an Human Rights summit in Istanbul, Turkey, where she addressed the United Nations and delegates from 50 countries, delivering a powerful speech on equity, diversity, inclusion, and pioneering language for reproductive health guidelines and policies—shifting global conversations and advancing reproductive health rights on the world stage.
Hunter started her writing journey to heal from a poor self-esteem, three miscarriages, and coping with a rare auto-immune condition. Along her voyage she realized so many people were dealing with the same struggles.
This inspired Blaise to be open and candid about these topics. Hunter's unique background in broadcast journalism and public relations has given her the skills to pursue motivational speaking and consulting. She lives out her quest with her business Blaise the Trail inc. Consulting Agency.
Vulnerability is our Superpower
Life is always about peaks and valleys and Blaise decided put the entire picture of life out there. Hunter is passionate about being real, "We can't truly learn how to survive the valleys if we only show the highlight reel of our lives." Hunter, like generations of people before her, have battled many adversities and there's no greater inspiration to push through them but by rising up as your own hero. "When we face roadblocks, we need to Blaise the Trail."
Hunter has made Blaise the Trail & Breathe Fire her own catch phrases to live by. Along with promoting her book Heroine, she also lives out her passion by inspiring others with her keynote talks which include Knowing Your Worth, MAPP Your Life, Be the Change, and Fertility Schmertility.
"A woman of inspiration is the one who stands tall and co-exists with her pain, flaws and scars. She is inspiring because she empowers herself and others by her determination. How can she expect the future generations to know their worth and be world changers if she is not practicing what she preaches? This woman is the change she wishes to see. Every morning she decides to draw her sword and breathe fire. She is Heroine." Blaise Hunter
