This month, we are thrilled to introduce you to Rebecca Muriuki, an associate director at a Big Four audit firm, AND a powerhouse and dynamic leadership coach who has seen it all in the corporate world!
ย When Rebecca entered the corporate world, she felt thrown into the deep end, gasping for air! Despite her academic prowess, she endured multiple setbacks in advancing her career. She found that academics did not prepare her for the nuances and rigors of navigating the corporate world, especially as a Black woman. We know women in general face a glass ceiling to advance their careers, but for Black women, it's the next level! Because of being at the intersection of two marginalized identities, being a woman and being Black, ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ค ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ง ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ . They cannot even see the other side!ย
ย Rebecca eventually rose above it all! Through mastering visibility, resilience, and leadership, Rebecca smashed that concrete ceiling and now empowers other Black women to pave their paths to senior positions using her invaluable experiences.ย
