Queen of Positivity: The Life and Legacy of Jo‑Ann Fisher

This is a pre-order; all copies will be available for pick-up in September 2025.

For more than 40 years, Jo‑Ann Fisher has been a trailblazer in fashion and a living example of positivity, style, and resilience. Queen of Positivity is a beautifully photographed, deeply personal coffee table book that celebrates the extraordinary journey of a woman who built one of Canada’s most beloved family fashion businesses, Hangar9.

Told through rich visuals, personal reflections, and heartfelt tributes, this book chronicles Jo‑Ann’s life from her humble beginnings on a small Ontario farm to becoming a respected entrepreneur, mentor, and inspiration to generations of women.

Discover how her love of fashion became a platform for empowerment—transforming wardrobes and building confidence through her now-famous [H9] +9 = 36 formula. Along the way, readers are invited into the heart of a family business shaped by Jo‑Ann’s unwavering optimism, kindness, and work ethic.

Inside these pages, you’ll find:

• A visual memoir spanning childhood, motherhood, and a thriving multi‑generational business

• Behind-the-scenes stories from Hangar9’s 40-year journey

• Lessons on style, self-care, and living life through rose-coloured glasses

• Contributions and tributes from designers, colleagues, friends, and family

Part memoir, part fashion inspiration, Queen of Positivity is a joyful, uplifting celebration of family, resilience, and the power of believing in the good around you.

Perfect for anyone who loves fashion, family legacies, and stories of women who lead with heart.
