What is your advice for women starting
their careers? Believe in yourself and be
authentic! It requires a great deal of courage
for a woman to lead, be successful, and
most importantly, ask for help when
needed. Let's all pave the pathway for
other women, especially BIPOC women, to
contribute and succeed.
What do you attribute your success to? I
am here today against the odds because I
was repeatedly challenged to prove myself
against a backdrop of skepticism and the
established pathways to success. Today,
I am here with a strong and ardent voice
because I worked diligently, persevered,
maintained my integrity and resilience,
and had the courage to lead, with dignity,
respect for others, and a drive to succeed.
What is the best way to find work/life
balance? Accept your limitations. Say, "No"
more and be okay with it.
