To anyone else who’s been minimized in one room and still managed to make space for yourself in another—I see you. keep going!
Let them play in the smallness they tried to keep you in because we’ve got bigger things to do. 😉🧠💕
6/6
🧵: Growth isn't always graceful for Black women in professional spaces. Sometimes it’s born from being underestimated, overlooked and overextended.
I’m learning how to let go of resentment that comes from being undervalued in roles where I gave my absolute best.
1/6
But I’ve also had clarity and peace and new doors open that weren’t built on politics or proximity.
So no, I’m not bitter. I’m healing.
But don’t confuse my softness for silence. I remember everything—and I’m still going to rise with all of it in my rearview.
5/6
I am extremely grateful and fortunate to have built a career off authenticity and genuine curiosity.
Especially in a landscape where everyone is trying to sell you something.
Sell who they are, sell what they know, sell what they think success should look like. I’m just ME.
How do you find the balance?!
Whenever I’m having a productive work day, my personal maintenance suffers. It’s 2:42 pm and I haven’t had a THING to nourish my body. 😩🥲
I look amazing though 🥰
After a much-needed weekend of rest and relaxation at the ski resort, I got off the road and jumped right into studying.
Resigning unexpectedly, but necessarily from my previous role was almost a setback until I realized it was an opportunity to reset and prepare for what’s NOW
I’m going to report back with the good news as soon as I get it because this moment is mine, divinely created just for me and I worked my ass off for a decade, FOR THIS MOMENT.
InshAllah, it is already mine.
Tomorrow afternoon, I have a very important interview with an organization I researched to work with because I believe in the impact of their work.
I believe even more in my ability and demonstrated experience as a successful comms strategist to excel in this role.
