Nancy Audet
journalist, host, author, sponsor of the DPJ Youth Foundation and speaker

After 17 years of working in newsrooms and covering major sporting events, journalist Nancy Audet has decided to take a new turn. Driven by a new mission, she used her own life story to raise awareness of the reality of children in the DPJ by writing her first book. A story about resilience, resistance and forgiveness. It is also proof that a helping hand can change a child's life.


Nancy Audet's lectures :

  • Duration: between 45-75 minutes, adaptable.
  • Lectures available in French / Q&A possible in English.
  • A preparatory call is planned to adapt the content of the conference.
  • Conferences also available online, live.

Reaching out: helping each other to succeed

How can a little girl living in a remote village in northern Quebec aspire to work for a major television network?

In this conference, Nancy Audet will share with you her improbable journey as a "little poque", a nickname she uses to describe children and teenagers who have had a difficult childhood. Despite a difficult childhood, Nancy beat the odds by graduating from university with a degree in journalism, something that is rare among children in the DPJ, as only 17% graduate from high school.

More than motivated by her dream of becoming a journalist and news host, she draws on her deepest resources to succeed. Hard-working and determined, it is through small successes and helping hands that she finds herself in the largest French-language newsrooms in the country. At work, she can count on the support of a few colleagues and bosses.

We should never underestimate the impact we have in the lives of others, because we don't always know the human being in front of us. Encouraging others, helping them to achieve their goals, building their confidence, listening to them, are all ways of making a difference.

More than ever, when the pandemic returns, people will need to help each other. With words that are sometimes touching, sometimes inspiring, sometimes funny, Nancy will deliver a message of gentleness, gentleness towards others.


No more shame

In this conference, Nancy Audet shares with you her improbable journey from being a little poquey to becoming a journalist in the largest French-language newsrooms in the country. That's how she describes the children and teenagers who, like her, are in the care of the DPJ. At a very young age, Nancy already dreamed of working in the media, but did you know that only 17% of the young people in the DPJ succeed in completing their high school diploma?

Faced with these statistics, but especially faced with her reality, Nancy had to overcome several challenges. Her childhood, marked by physical and psychological violence, has left its mark. Inner demons that are still difficult to fight today.

With the help of a loving family standing in her way, Nancy found the courage, strength and determination to pursue her dreams. She has never worked so hard, to study and to rebuild herself.

This long battle has taught him that healing his inner child and forgiving is the key to living happily and fully.

His story is one of hope and can only serve as an inspiration to anyone who attends.
