Our mission is to redefine the word "professionalism" by empowering communities to be their authentic selves. When we are told to be professional, in many ways, we are told not to be ourselves. On this podcast, we have candid conversations and explore the conflict that we often face between being our authentic selves & "professionalism". Listen to find out who we really are...when we stop code-switching and faking it.
