Heme Consults: For Women of Color in Hematology

You are enough! You don't need to change to be accepted. Who you are, right now, in this moment, without change, is enough. Yes, you are still growing and transforming on the inside; but you don't need to be anything more than you are to be accepted. Anyone who requires that you change before they accept you is not worthy of you. Find those spaces in which people celebrate you because you are worthy of celebration.

The responsibility for your career advancement lies with you. But you don't yet know what you don't know. So, how can your career advance like it should when you don't have all the information you need? My friend, it is time to look around your darkness, imagine the possibilities, and declare, "Let there be light!"
