How my ADHD diagnosis liberated me | Melanie Mark | TEDxWest Vancouver Women
Women and girls are significantly less likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than their male counterparts. Instead, they're labeled "difficult," "disorganized," and "dramatic"— labels that perpetuate misunderstanding and stand in the way of their success. Melanie spent three decades leading in the nonprofit sector, public service, and politics before getting her own diagnosis as an adult. She argues that naming it was liberating, not limiting. As a former cabinet minister and mother to a daughter with ADHD, she shares how the traits often dismissed as weaknesses became the foundation of her leadership, and offers practical ways to support neurodivergent women so they can thrive.HLI HAYKWHL ẂII XSGAAK, Melanie Mark is a trailblazing Nisga'a, Gitxsan, Cree and Ojibway matriarch and the first First Nations woman to be elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in 2016. She is also the inaugural First Nations woman to serve in BC’s Cabinet as the Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training (2017- 2020) and later as the Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport (2020-2022).
Mark has been disrupting the status quo throughout the nonprofit sector, public service, as an elected official and entrepreneur for the past three decades. In 2024 she was the recipient of the King Charles III Coronation Medal. Mark is a passionate advocate for education, sport, culture and clean tech and has an unwavering belief that we can and must “Paddle Together” to implement the 94 Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
