GROW was formed in 2017 by Tracy Barry Folorunsho, a Nigerian-born Canadian. Tracy came to Canada from a poor background and all she dreamt of upon landing in Canada was to get married and have kids. Later, she decided to change her life and find her true purpose in life and started going to school and being productive.
That’s when she learned that her struggle as a mother of five kids was a common story among many immigrant women and decided to create an inclusive platform for women to share their stories of struggles and successes in Canada.
