What Am I Doing Next? I Want to Partner With You!
Hey Friends,
I wanted to share something with you all. This year has been an interesting one. I started a new company (Launching to the Stars) at the beginning of the year. Lakeisha Poole and I interviewed lots of folks (we’re super grateful for everyone’s time) for our Culture is Karma podcast (which we’re still looking at a public winter release). I spent the first few months traveling (Mexico was really good to me). Then I spent the next couple months reflecting (shout out to my close circle of friends and mentors [& Headspace] for keeping me focused). And finally, I found myself in some wonderful conversations during the last three months. What a year, what a year! And WOW to all the experiences I’ve had since I had moved to San Francisco 5 years ago (I can't believe it’s been that long already)!
After reflecting on my life and career, I kept landing in the same place. I kept going back to all those times that I was the “only one” or “the other” in rooms or the frustrations of friends and colleagues who felt held back or weren’t paid equally or weren’t looked at fairly or were told they didn’t belong in the room...just because they were black or brown.
With great excitement, I’d like to share that today marks my first day as the Director of Partnerships for /dev/color. I’m joining an incredible team, mission, and vision that will change the tech world forever.
