Karanpreet Kaur Johar (she/her)
Hey there! I'm Karan, a social entrepreneur on a mission to champion global health and
wellness with a strong belief in fostering equity with justice. I am an uninvited settler on
the unceded, ancestral, and traditional territories of q̓ ʷɑƛ̓ ən̓ (Kwantlen), q̓ ic̓ əy̓ (Katzie),
Máthxwi (Matsqui), and Se’mya’me (Semiahmoo) First Nations (Langley). My journey
into the health and wellness space was sparked by a personal encounter with
endometriosis, driving my commitment to raise awareness about chronic conditions and
their profound impact on individuals and their support systems, both physically and
emotionally. I am governance professional with passion for youth and women wellness.
To me, health and wellness encompass the holistic well-being of individuals, addressing
not just physical health, but also mental and emotional wellness. It's about creating
environments where everyone has access to the resources and support they need to
thrive. Equity is fundamental in this journey; it means ensuring that everyone, regardless
of their background or circumstances, has access to resources to achieve their best
health and wellness. This involves addressing systemic barriers, advocating for inclusive
policies, and fostering a community where inclusion is the basis of everything we do!
