A statement that calls out where she is stuck:

Stepping into leadership isn’t always about gaining new skills - sometimes it’s about correcting the story you tell yourself.

I remember sitting in a room full of older, seasoned leaders and questioning whether I belonged.

Then it clicked: I wasn’t “lucky” to be there. I earned my seat through hard work, results, and perspective that no one else in that room could bring.

Diversity isn’t a checkbox; it’s a strategic advantage.

Confidence isn’t arrogance; it’s alignment with the truth.

To every professional who has ever doubted their seat at the table:

You’re not there by accident.

You’re there because the room needs what you carry.
