The Happy Vagina Project

Sofia Fortin is a long time facilitator and communications specialist and the brainchild behind the Happy Vagina Project - an initiative to get women talking about sex and thinking about the connections between the boardroom and the bedroom. She is soaking up all she can about feminine energy, leadership and sex and dishing out real style in an effort to change the world. 

The Happy Vagina Project is pleased to be partnering with burlesque queen Cherie Coquette for this interactive workshop. Burlesque artist and cabaret singer, Chérie Coquette will surprise you with her class and her naughty movements that evoke the glamour and class of 20-30-40’s. Always looking for new adventures, Chérie just moved to Whitehorse in the Yukon, She is now inspired by the Gold Rush era of the city. Her first performance in Whitehorse was at the Yukon Art Center for the show Onde de Choc. 

Overall, she has produced 5 cabaret shows and performed with some big figures in the cabaret, burlesque and music community, like Judith Stein, Koston Kreme and, Shy Shy Schullie. Silly and cute, she will entertain you with the sound of her voice and her exquisite  movements

Chérie believes in the transformative power of burlesque. Over her years of teaching and performing, she has witnessed how this fun and frisky dance style has opened women to long-buried sides of themselves and helped them to unleash a new confidence and swag.
