Do you feel like you’re the only (insert blank) person in the room? And you feel a sense of otherness? Valerie shares:
- How getting burnt out taught her to take care of herself and embrace herself.
- How she survived Big Law, is a recovering lawyer, and is now using those experiences to create inclusion and belonging.
- How she understands that feeling othered is sometimes by design and sometimes by default, and how to intentionally and strategically make changes that have the greatest impact.
- Why she created Black Girl Magic groups at her workplaces to uplift and embrace Black women in the company.
- Why it’s important when you’re in a role where you give to others to remind yourself to give yourself love and compassion first.
- The importance of taking care of your mental wellness to be able to live a good life and do good work.
