For nearly 30 years, I’ve worked as a marketing communications professional for some of the largest and most successful companies in Corporate America.
In the course of that journey, I’ve often been the only person who looks like me in the room. As a result, I have been blessed to have access to spaces and perspectives that many others from the groups I represent cannot always easily enter. Now, I’m on a mission to share those insights with others.
