The truth is that for high-achieving WOC, betting on ourselves is the norm. We have gone through training programs, spent six figures of debt getting degrees, etc. But that kind of betting on ourselves is structured and normalized to the point we don’t even see it as risky.
In this episode, Kemi is challenging us to think about how we can bet on ourselves in terms of choosing to want something different that takes us deeper into our work, which may not have all the checkmarks or gold stars of the traditional path.
Listen in as she talks through the need to build our own structure around risk endeavors, and feeling confident and comfortable that it makes sense for us - even if it doesn't make sense to anybody else.
