Purposeful Serendipities

As I come to the close of my Master’s education and I begin to heavily porous my field of choice thorough e-mailing HR Directors at various companies and occasionally attending informational interviews. I have begun to see a common theme amongst them all, where the board members, senior directors and management team lack color and rarely ever look like me.

I’m so curious as to why that maybe. Are they not applying? Are they “too” comfortable in their current position? Are they afraid or intimidated to apply or go out for higher positions or promotions? Is it the corporate environment? The people? Lack of Credentials? Who knows?!!?

Not losing site of what I want to be and do for the community as I achieve my dream, I continue clicking the “Apply” button that is connected straight to “Next-to-Neverville” praying and hoping for my lottery numbers to be called. I have been very fortunate to obtain many internship and volunteer opportunities directly related to the industry I hope to have an effect on, showing me that it is possible with persistence and perseverance.

When I do make it to that coveted spot, I hope that that I will either be the first colored crayon to make it to Crayon Box, or to at least be a part of the few and the start or more to come. At the end of the day, the world isn’t just black and white; it is a spectrum of many beautiful colors.

Persistently holding on to My Dreams!
