I stopped trying to fit in a mold, and occupying roles that did not make me happy, and decided instead to create a career path that I was aligned to my purpose and honored my values. I went from an Administrative Professional to a Certified Coach and Organizational Development Practitioner partner making my career what I wanted it to be.

For the last 8 years, I have worked as an internal Leadership Coach to Executives and high stakes team. I have led multiple Diversity, Equity & Inclusion teams and initiatives and used my strength of learning to teach, mentor and coach employees in corporate environments.

"I honored my values and stopped playing small, hiding, and sending my representative instead of the REAL ME, into rooms designed to see me fail"

Making that switch in my mind wasn't easy, and I spent many days praying that God would give me a breakthrough. But faith without works is dead, so I had to - Acknowledge my limiting beliefs, heal job trauma, fight back systemic oppression, and stop shape-shifting and playing small. And then something shifted in me. I started to speak up and not afraid of my voice being heard, show up authentically, set boundaries, feel my confidence strengthen and get past the infamous glass ceiling. My faith and my works aligned and now when I look back, it was the best decision that I could have ever made.

and wasting time trying to be what the world wants them to be.

I see too many Women of Color expected to play small and drink the corporate "kool-aid"...
