Born and raised in Scarborough, Ontario, Singh first built her empire on YouTube under the handle \u201cSuperwoman,\u201d pulling billions of views with sketches that blended Bollywood references, Toronto energy and deadpan takes on everything from strict parents to dating disasters. She eventually made the leap from digital fame to mainstream entertainment, becoming the first openly bisexual woman of colour to host a major American late-night network show with A Little Late with Lilly Singh<\/em>. Beyond comedy, Singh has evolved into a full-on multi-hyphenate \u2014 actor, producer, author, entrepreneur and outspoken advocate for South Asian representation in media \u2014 while still carrying the same self-aware, internet-native humour that made her famous in the first place. Most recently Singh was announced as a part owner of Toronto’s new WNBA team Toronto Tempo.<\/p>\n

The upcoming third annual Women in Entertainment Canada summit will again bring together the Canadian industry across TV, film and music to celebrate and recognize the achievements of women leading the industry forward.
