Today is my last day at a job I held for 8 yrs. I traveled to 10+ countries and worked with thoughtful #girladvocates who’s only aim is to build & sustain better opportunities for the most disenfranchised #AGYW. I feel #gratitude & pride I had a small part in this immense work.

Mercy was a fierce woman. I feel deeply honored I got to work alongside and learn from her, that we shared laughs of dinner and coffee, that I can count her as a friend. She was a joyful, kind and committed girls’ advocate. I will truly miss her. https://t.co/vaZXGgczkG

If I could give one piece of advice to #earlycareer professionals, it would be to not chase anyone while #networking. No matter where you are at in your career, you are worth more than the chase. No need to be disheartened. Those that sense your worth, will give you their time.

A gf recently told me to apply for jobs like a man - in essence, to not hesitate that I'm qualified or can't do a job merely b/c of small differences in my previous experience. Generalization aside, her point was well-taken & today I've gotten more apps out than any previous day.

[Sophie Smalls @sophesoares]

I find #networking has become harder than ever. Trying to demonstrate your value and skillset to folks, only then to feel ashamed that you aren't shy - not arrogant - about your worth - & made uncomfortable by the most unlikely ppl. It's so tough. All I want to do is good work.

#Genderequity in #education can enable #girls #social and #economic mobility and build sustainable and resilient communities. So I am pleased to be part of this campaign from @girlsalliance to #GetHerThere, in pursuit of #girlseducation, alongside @GIRLCenterPC and @Pop_Council.

When in doubt, it is nice to hear about the value of your work. I've had calls w/ ppl as I evaluate the #AdolescentGirlsCommunityofPractice impact on their org. Knowing that we've helped them make huge shifts to build better #evidencedriven #girls programs has been so encouraging

[Sophie Smalls @sophesoares]

This is so great! To see this level of #representation among teachers who can and will serve as guideposts and often #safespace to #children...it is a smart move in #Memphis. #RepresentationMatters
