What is your goal for being on the show?
That's a good question.
I don't think I've thought about that before.
So I was just excited to talk about the entrepreneurs
we work with and the work we do.
I think the goal would be to share the message
about the world of entrepreneurship
and how it is a pathway that many do not always think about
when we think about success,
when we think about life after high school,
going to college.
Many of us knows about the college pathway.
We know about the post-secondary education.
And I think many of our parents will tell us to go to college
because we have been taught
that this is linear pathway to success.
And I don't think success is linear at all,
especially for people of color.
We need to break out of that cycle, out of that mindset
thinking that success is only within the corporate space,
being in those types of like being an accountant,
being a lawyer, being a doctor.
There's so much more.
Not that there's anything wrong
with being an accountant or a lawyer, right?
But we need to show our children
and we need to show everyone else
that there are other ways to success.
And even if you did take the linear pathway towards success
and you can climb in that corporate ladder,
it is never too late to change your career,
to change your mind and doing something different
and taking that risk.
At the end of the day,
I think we should all take whatever risk we think is possible
to make yourself happy
and to be able to also to give back.
So do something that you love,
it's something that's impactful
that will leave a positive impression in the world.
Thank you for sharing that.
