Notable Quotes
"There were silent expectations. When you're hired, you are expected to know how to do this job yet when you ask questions 1 question may turn into 2, 3, or 5 questions…This is where I think there is a lot of disconnect from college into Corporate America."
"I wanted to help Black women; people who look like me. I wanted to help boost their confidence early so when they are sitting in the same seat I was, they don't feel as uncomfortable as I felt."
