February has us talking about “invest.” Having a local entrepreneur to address the month’s theme seems appropriate, however, our team is most impressed and enthusiastic with the relational direction Linda Ha has indicated in our one-on-one preliminary chats. 

You may know Linda Ha as a successful businesswoman who entered a gendered space and became a leader in how organizations function as effective community hubs, but it takes an ethos of relationship development, or investment to secure that familial energy.

If you’ve ever contemplated how investment interacts with tangible an intangible elements, you’ll want to secure tickets to our February 28th event at CKUA’s performance space in the heart of Edmonton’s downtown.

More about Linda Ha

For the last 18 years, Linda has honed her craft as a hairstylist and barber, establishing a sharp sense of personal style and a dedicated customer following. In 2011, she opened her business, Barber Ha, a fledgling two-person operation in southeast Edmonton. Since then, Barber Ha has expanded to an eight-chair shop in Edmonton’s renowned Old Strathcona neighbourhood with over (9) employees – growth which is attributable to Linda’s dedication towards quality service, thorough employee mentorship and education, and positive client relationships.

Linda has been a guest speaker for Edmonton International Women’s week, TedX Edmonton, and Capital Ideas Edmonton, where she was featured as one of Edmonton’s most promising young entrepreneurs and educators. Linda is also an ardent supporter of Edmonton’s art and music scene, having hosted and sponsored a variety of events and shows.
