My #NSBE50 community showed up and showed out!
It was the last day and the last session of the NSBE Professionals | National Society of Black Engineers Convention, and I honestly thought only a few people would show up to my talk that aims to help STEM professionals master the art of self-promotion and branding.
Little did I know, my mom and aunt would surprise me and attend, as well as a packed room full of every shade of Black engineer, and those who have followed me since day one.
The room was filled with love, peace, curiosity, vigorous note taking, venting, affirmations and so many questions that we stayed almost 2 hours past the end of my session.
It culminated in me getting emotional and being so grateful for the continued love and support I’ve received during my STEM career. It’s only right that I come back to my community and share what I’ve learned over the years. That room was a safe place for all of us.
The reviews are in after I charged everyone to get more active with posting and promoting themselves, especially on LinkedIn, and I must say that I’m honored to have read them. If your school, organization, institution, company, or group needs this talk, please check out my website and the link in my bio so we can work something out!
Thank you mom, aunty, Cristi, Racheida and Joe for capturing this precious moment and supporting me in the ways that I needed.
With love,
