Like many of you, I lacked a clear, intentional, and authentic strategy when I started my career. I spent years working hard and conforming to established corporate norms, believing this would lead to success. Despite years of hard work and efforts to "blend in," my efforts were insufficient. Raised in a dual culture as an immigrant from Jamaica who migrated to the United States during my pre-teen years, I often navigated the complex intersections of race, class, and gender, which carried through to my working world.  In trying to fit into my work environment, I masked my authenticity and suppressed my deepest desires.
