Our Story: Why Prosperities

We chose the name Prosperities —plural— because there is no single way to define what it means to thrive, today or in the future. Prosperity looks different depending on your starting point, your realities, your story, and your dreams. As societies evolve—economically, socially, and technologically—the ways people experience prosperity change too.

But financial systems, institutions, and industries have been slow to adapt.

While realities on the ground shift — work becomes more fragmented, costs of living rise, and life paths diversify — the tools, frameworks, and definitions of prosperity often remain anchored in outdated assumptions and limited perspectives.

Prosperities acknowledges this gap. It reflects the diversity and complexity of modern lives, real people and the need for approaches that respond to a world in motion.

It’s not just about money; it’s about security, dignity, time, agency, and connection—foundations that too often fall outside traditional economic measures.

With Prosperities, we are building tools, frameworks, and conversations designed to meet this evolving context, to help people and organizations navigate change with relevance and clarity.

Our Founder and CEO

Fayza Abdallaoui

Fayza Abdallaoui is a systems thinker and social entrepreneur working at the intersection of financial literacy, education, and community transformation. Since 2012, she has built capacity in entrepreneurship and employability across diverse Canadian organizations and initiatives — recognizing early that financial literacy is the hinge that opens doors and keeps them open.

From classrooms to incubators, media platforms to boardrooms, every space Fayza engages becomes a bridge — tailored to its audience yet always focused on expanding access to opportunity and advancing both individual and collective agency.

In 2016, she founded Next Level Impact Consulting, and in 2023, she launched Prosperities to redefine financial education as a living, evolving, and interconnected practice. With a background spanning education, research, and community development, Fayza works across sectors to design tools, workshops, and learning experiences that challenge outdated models and invite new ways of thinking about money, work, and security. She also serves as an evaluator associate with Sustainable Livelihoods Canada and teaches Social Entrepreneurship at Collège Boréal.

Fayza was a regular Personal Finance Columnist for Radio-Canada Toronto from 2020 to end 2024, contributing over 70 segments where she connected current events to deeper analysis and practical, actionable insights. Her work consistently brought forward diverse perspectives and challenged the status quo in how we talk about money—bridging financial headlines with lived realities and critical thinking.

Fayza has designed and facilitated more than 350 workshops, delivered dozens of keynotes and conferences, and coached entrepreneurs, newcomers, and changemakers across Canada. Her learning spaces are designed to meet people where they are—making complex financial and social systems clearer, and helping participants build practical pathways forward.

Her applied research contributions include four research projects and two white papers, exploring financial literacy, employability, and economic security through systemic and community-centered lenses. These works contribute fresh perspectives to the evolving conversation on inclusive prosperity and future-ready skills.

A sought-after speaker and mentor, Fayza has been featured on Radio Canada’s Vocation Leader series and has shared her insights with the City of Toronto’s Speed Mentoring program, WEKH, the Future Skills Centre, the Canadian Women’s Foundation, and at major forums such as the International Economic Forum of the Americas. She is also an active contributor to provincial and federal committees and roundtables, including participation in the economic committee for the Ontario Minister of Francophone Affairs.

A recognized community leader, Fayza was named a Diversity CivicAction Fellow in 2017 and received the Best Entrepreneur Award from Fondation Club Avenir in 2019. She has served on the boards of the Ontario Movement for Francophone Immigrant Women, Théâtre français de Toronto, Fondation Club Avenir, and the Algerian Association of Greater Toronto, where she held roles as chair and director.

Fayza holds a Bachelor in Philosophy and a Master in Communication (France), and pursued a Public Leadership credential with the Harvard Kennedy School.
