This week Marcella Rodriguez interviews Sara Toussaint. Sara earned her bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago and her MBA from NYU. Sara talks about her bi-cultural identity, a product of a Puerto Rican mother and Palestinian Father, born on la isla and moving to Chicago at a young age. She shares the twists and turns of her career and how leveraging her ability to self-market herself and tapping into her alumni and professional network allowed her to always land on her feet, ensure that she can remain passionate about her work and engage with others in meaningful ways. They extensively discuss the value in engaging with your own alumni community and how this isn't always a comfortable place for BIPOC. She reminds listeners that they are deserving and entitled to occupy that space and the importance of being involved.
