Our 2026 Women of the Year Entrepreneurial Leader, Jillian Harris, has transformed The Jilly Box into a sellout success story—one that has generated millions for small businesses while giving back to communities across Canada.⁠ ⁠ The entrepreneur has emerged as a tastemaker with a modern-day Midas touch and her own kind of “Oprah Effect.” Products and brands featured—from clothing to housewares and accessories—see elevated sales and new devotees. (“Our customers want their money to go somewhere good. They want to support small local,” she says.) These local and women-led makers see huge gains—many picking up their own cult following. ⁠ Story: Darcy Matheson https://lnkd.in/gP7J7ptg
