Bee Quammie’s presentations centre on the stories that often aren’t told, providing spaces where audiences can learn, be empowered, and find a relatable voice. In addition to speaking, she’s a writer, award-winning digital content creator, health advocate, and media commentator.
With a degree in Health Sciences from Western University, Bee spent over a decade in the healthcare industry (working in mental health research, international health, and acquired brain injury work) before transitioning to writing and media.
Focusing on areas around wellness, motherhood, culture and more, Bee went from being an award-winning blogger to a highly sought-after freelance writer writing for publications like The Globe and Mail, Essence, Refinery29, and more.
New for 2025 will be her book, The Book of Possibilities (Penguin Canada) and speech topic on
POSSIBILITIES. The theme was developed “
during a time when I couldn’t see much possibility for myself. I couldn’t see where my life was going, couldn’t figure out how I’d regain control of it, and couldn’t see a way up when I was at my lowest. I started writing it to remind myself that possibility existed, and have imagined my daughters, other women, and other intelligent and curious people reading it to remind themselves of the presence of possibility too. It’s not a prescriptive time telling what to do in life, but an offering that simply asks you to ask questions of yourself.”
In the media landscape, Bee was the co-host of The Kultur’D Show on Global News Radio and REAL TALK on Flow 98.7FM. Now, Bee hosts the podcast
Brilliant Cuts with Bee Quammie, discussing the ins and outs of living a multifaceted life. She has been featured on Global’s ET Canada, CityTV’s Cityline, CTV’s The Social, and CBC, both radio and television. In the community, she participates as a mentor in programs for young girls and women of colour, and produces and hosts events in the Greater Toronto Area surrounding feminism in film, the celebration of natural hair, and diversity in media. Bee has served as a director on the board for TAIBU Community Health Centre, which provides primary health care and health promotion programs and services to Black communities across the Greater Toronto Area.
