As a multiracial woman in a white, male-dominated industry, I struggled to find my place. The first year of my career I found myself leaving parts of who I am at the door in an effort to fit in. I thought this act of self-preservation would lead me to a seat at the table, what I quickly learned is being inauthentic was not only career limiting but exhausting. Ten years later, I’ve earned my seat at the table and I’ve done so by being my authentic self and owning my brand. Whether you’re a woman working in a male-dominated industry or the only Person of Color in your department, this chat is designed to help empower you to leverage your authenticity and to cultivate a brand that is uniquely yours.
