From Hema: "I had just completed my master’s degree in finance in India before I moved to Canada. Everyone told me it would be tough to make it here. Thankfully, a friend suggested I complete a few banking courses. The rest is history. CIBC hired me as a financial service representative. My career has blossomed ever since. A few years ago, I joined an internal resource group for international professionals at CIBC. It was a great fit for me. I understand the struggles newcomers to Canada face. When you’re new to a country with no guidance, it’s difficult to navigate. Through CIBC’s International Professionals Network, I’m able to provide advice, motivation and inspiration. I’m proud to be part of a network that supports new individuals to Canada and their ambitions. It has been fulfilling to have the opportunity to give back."

From Johnny: " I grew up in Hong Kong, where gay marriage still isn't legal. Even after my family moved to "more progressive" Canada, kids at school made fun of what they saw as my femininity. The insecurities formed during those younger years carried over to my career. I worried about the professional cost of coming out at work. For nearly two decades, I hid my true self. But it was exhausting. I had to constantly watch my words. I was so worried I would accidentally reveal my partner's gender. Coming to CIBC changed all that. When I joined the company three years ago, CIBC's Pride Network completely changed my perspective. On CIBC's internal networking site, I saw all sorts of people sharing their identities and showing allyship. During my first Pride event, I realized I wanted to be a part of this group. I was ready to come out. I told my manager first. Having his support was so freeing. I excelled at my job because I was no longer distracted by my fears. When I joined the Pride Network, I found the community I'd hoped for. This Pride Month, I want to help the next generation of LGBTQ+ CIBCers start their careers with the same confidence I now feel."
