🌟 This month, we are thrilled to share the inspiring journey of Eugenia Boeh-Ocansey, who is role-modelling authenticity for the next generation in many parts of her life! An engineer by training, Eugenia always had an innate gift for storytelling since childhood. 📚 Becoming a parent ignited a fire within her to fully embrace her passion and role model courage for them in many parts of her life! This led to her pivoting her career from engineering to innovation consulting, where she is tapping into her passion for storytelling and helping teams to connect the technical and business world 🚀
And that's not all! 📖 Eugenia went on to extend her storytelling gift to writing, releasing her first book entitled "Why Am I Brown." This co-authored masterpiece is dedicated to instilling confidence in her Black children to navigate a world that may sometimes be unkind to them. 🌍
🌈 The book celebrates the rich diversity of brown skin, offering an empowering way for Black parents and others to have racial conversations with their children and reminding them of the incredible power of knowing and embracing one's true identity. 🙌💖
Three wisdom gems from Eugenia:
Listen to your inner voice and compass. It is your most reliable and faithful guide.
Be very afraid. Confront your fear and it will lose its power over you
Just talk to people and be human. It gives others space to be human too and creates genuine connections beyond hierarchy and other superficial social barriers
Tune in and be inspired by Eugenia’s purposeful journey and how she continues to drive impact around her.
