is the brand communications lead at Pinterest, and we met at a mutual friend's brunch. These women started as my friends, and then I realized I depended on them for career advice. When it comes to mentorship, you can't force the relationship. It has to be mutually beneficial to both parties involved. I hope that in the future I can be a mentor to someone and [that] I have a great impact on them and their career journey.
PS: That sounds great! But how do you balance it all? Many women, especially women of color, struggle to prioritize their mental health. What is your ritual for your mental health?Before COVID I really didn't have time to think, meditate, and focus on myself. Before 2020, I would stretch myself really thin, and I felt so overwhelmed, underappreciated, and unseen. Full transparency, there were so many times in 2020 where I would just cry for no reason.
PS: Honestly, re-tweet to your response! As a college student, I started going to therapy last year as well. I think that's how a lot of us were feeling. So on the topic of obstacles, have you faced any with Sisters in Media?Girl, yes! When I started Sisters in Media, I thought about what a company needed and I came up with a mission, goals, and an overall proposal.
