As a Black woman working in DEI, and as a person who has been helping bridge cultural divides since childhood, I have a really unique perspective to offer and a lot of knowledge to share. My hope is that this channel helps inspire others to achieve their goals, think outside of the box, and just... thrive, as you see fit!
