Assiatou Madina Diallo is a Toronto-based entrepreneur, mother, and outspoken feminist whose life journey began in Guinea, a small country in West Africa.
Behind her open smile and natural confidence lies a past marked by hardship, loss, and difficult choices. Despite many unfortunate and even tragic events in her life, Assiatou never abandoned her belief that she could become the best of the best. For her, life was never about compromise — it was always all or nothing.
This film is an intimate portrait of resilience, ambition, and inner strength. It tells the story of a woman who refused to be defined by trauma, geography, or expectations, and instead chose to build her own future in a new country.
The film is produced by ECG Productions and is one of the works from our archive that we are now making freely available on our YouTube channel. It is part of a ten-part documentary project dedicated to the stories of immigrant women in Canada — women who rebuilt their lives far from their countries of origin and shaped a new sense of home.
