A6 Breaking down the barriers to entry. I meet lots of people who are interested in getting in to the field, but don’t know where to start. That’s why we are launching a workforce development program at @Ablr360 to help ease that barrier to entry #AXSChat
A5 It gives people like me autonomy to do things on my own, like look at my investment portfolio, and take part in data analysis at work - it helps level the playing field #AXSChat
A4 Throughout my life I was told by my parents that I was going to have to work twice as hard as everyone else, because I was a brown kid growing up in the US. That mentality stayed with me even as I lost my sight, and I think it has helped me prove my doubters wrong #AXSChat
@debraruh I was inspired by @debraruh , so I connected to her by reaching out to someone she interviewed on her LinkedIn Live show that I knew. That said, sometimes you need to be resourceful! #ASXChat
A3 From my own experience, I've learned that we can't let anything stop us from connecting with folks who inspire us - and because of that, I try to be as accessible to others and pay it forward to all of the people who have inspired me in my life #AXSChat
@DestekSolutions That's super kind of you! I've been blessed with great friends and family members who have encouraged me to think bigger, and I can't be more thankful! #AXSChat
A2 Traveling for accommodations defined a big part of my life, and it allowed me to move up in my career. It wasn’t what I had planned out for myself when I was in college, but it has benefited me more than I could ever imagine #AXSChat
@AXSChat I think by sharing our stories and experiences, we will make it easier for others, and they will realize that they aren’t alone. Remember, everyone wants to feel like they belong, and this is a way to do that #AXSChat
