Occupation: Certified Cicerone Obstacle: Child of Immigrants with guest Razia Gonzales

On this week's episode of She Dreams In Color™ Video Series and Podcast, we talk to Razia Gonzales, Certified Cicerone®, https://www.instagram.com/brewjer/ about her Occupation as an expert in the male-dominated #Beer industry. She got her first exposure to brewing and fermentation when she took a Home Brewing course as a college elective but it would take years before she followed that career pathway.

As a child of immigrant parents, Razia felt this both as a blessing and an Obstacle. She said many children of immigrants understand the constant weight to make sure her parents' sacrifices were not wasted. As the first in her family to graduate from college, she attended law school afterwards but never felt it was her calling. In her interview, Razia talks about fighting through the guilt she felt leaving her corporate job to step into her calling. She also talks about the effects of this guilt on children of immigrants who grow up under immense pressure to overachieve.

Like many women, Razia followed certainty and a comfortable paycheck in the corporate world with marketing jobs that she was good at but didn't find fulfilling as she'd hoped. As she began to feel the effects of burnout, she made the difficult decision to walk away and throw her all into her passion for brewing. Razia tried to land jobs in Miami but there didn't seem to have many opportunities for women in the beer industry other than front of house. When she moved to Charlotte she says other women in the industry gave her a chance and supported her. She's now one of 4,000 Certified Cicerones® in the world and takes pride in her ability to open doors for other women and women of color in the industry women actually started.
