Anika here! My #careerstory is FILLED with taboos. So if you're like moi, and your story isn't as "neat" as others- please don't sweat it. Career stories and success comes in all shapes, sizes, and TIMELINES!
Here are all my career "taboos":
🎨 After art school didn't work out, I started going to community college
🏫 I bounced around to three community colleges & even did a stint of online college (eventually attending 5 different colleges as an undergrad🤪)
🤔 I changed my major a couple of times
👩🏼🎓 Took 5 years to earn my bachelor's degree
👩🏼💻 Only did a couple of internships
📚 Went to grad school DURING undergrad... yep I didn't wait until I had "real world" experience (whatever that means lol)
🎓 Graduated during a pandemic and economic meltdown
Moral of the story, you're on your own path. You have to grow in your own time.

Anika asked me what advice I would give to women of color and also to women based on my life experiences. Ya’ll this is still stuff I am learning so it’s not as if I have come to this super enlightened place! 🤷🏾♀️
1️⃣ To Women of Color I say: You don’t have to educate everyone. 👊🏾 There are millions of FREE resources available to people wishing to educate themselves on Black History or the history of other minorities. People can start with a google search, like we had to do to learn our own history. I’ve stopped responding to people I barely know asking me to help them find resources so they can educate themselves. Ya’ll can start with google. ❤️💚🖤
2️⃣ To Women: You don’t have to take to every opportunity. Anyone who told you that LIED. 👏🏾 👏🏾 Take it from someone who has learned the hard way. It’s always okay to say no. Yes, even to really good things.

Are some days just plain old bad? Totally.
Are they all bad? Not necessarily.
Welcome to what we're calling, a learning day. Sometimes when days feel like they're excessively challenging and frustrating, it's just because you're learning or experiencing something new...and FYI learning new things isn't always easy! But that's okay!
