“Basically after two weeks, I was just walking around like I owned the place.”

Today’s a bonus episode! To celebrate making it through another Black History Month and recognizing that Black History is created in the present with Black presence. Currently a business development analyst in a financial firm, today’s guest talks about navigating her first few years after graduating from a liberal arts college as a political theory and studio art major, from losing feeling in her feet to walking around at her current company like she owned the place, through asking questions and cultivating relationships. She discusses the process of creating value in an organization, and the drive for a secure future that grounds her hustle.
