Leveraging our differences to impact change I conducted eight years of research after battling homelessness, harassment and discrimination as a proud out woman of transgender experience.
The skills I learned around emotional intelligence and resource allocation were instrumental in my career development from homeless part-time bank teller at PNC Bank to becoming their national vice president of diversity and inclusion in four years.
I left after 11 years working there to focus full time on expanding my research on empowerment and publishing an award-winning and bestselling book.
This research was centered around empowerment and how empowerment is impacted by our empowering differences, as we call them.
