The Great Resignation IRL (Melodee Ndigaye)

Welcome to Episode 6 of Season 3

So, you’ve read and heard a lot about the change in the future of work and of course, all the excitement centers the so-called "Great Resignation". Many professionals and business owners have either pivoted or left their jobs to pursue something new.
 
That is the case with my guest today, Melodee Ndigaye, a Danish creative professional who left her corporate job to start her social media strategy consultancy, Cre8tive Social. She also has a personal blog (melodeendigaye.com) where she posts about mental health and her life journey. Definitely read her essays on there! 

 Our conversation was recorded during the summer of 2021 and we got to reflect on the one year plus duration of the Covid-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter, self-reliance, the security of a job versus the reward of being your own boss, and of course navigating race and identity as an immigrant, in a place where open conversation on the topic is brand new and maybe public discourse is not yet nuanced.

But mainly, I wanted to speak to Melodee because she took the brave step of breaking out during the most uncertain period of our generation....You will enjoy her easy manner, open heart and joyous nature.

Thanks for sharing your story @melodeendigaye It was a great pleasure talking to you 😊
