My Personal Career Story Part I

My Personal Career Story Part I

I'm back! At least for now, but here is my personal cubicle chronicles story. I realize I haven't told my career journey story this far and I hope that you listen and all of this will make sense! From my podcast to my Youtube project to my business, I'm hoping to weave a cohesive story together for it to really boil down to the same message: follow your original passions. 

Those passions from childhood that we may have buried or stuffed down they are still there and need to be alchemized and fit into your adult life in order to start living from that joy again. Here I go through my first SIX jobs post-college and on the next episode you'll hear the rest.

In the episode of Cubicle Chronicles I have my second guest, Zachary Nunn of the Living Corporate podcast join me to talk about micro-agressions! Yes, so if you have been looked at as the "voice of black culture" in the office then you my friend have been micro-agressed! Listen to this candid conversation on how to deal with it the next time it happens and Zach's interesting experiences on it happening to him.

As the founder of Living Corporate, a multimedia platform he launched in Spring 2018, he seeks to amplify underrepresented voices in Corporate America.

005. What's your definition of success?

This week the sounding board write in comes from Candace (@unicorncandy850) who shares a petty exchange with her boss.

Also, I highlight 10 signs that you're more successful than you think you are, friend. We all get caught in the rat race of what we think success is and I challenge you to define it for yourself and never let up on reaching what it means to YOU only.
