As individuals we harbor many characteristics that make us remarkable, however we tend to define ourselves through external validators like our internships, club positions, jobs and grades. We often lose sight of the little things that make us remarkable — and, what our co-hosts found, were really all we had once the pandemic started.

During this pandemic, we have learned small wins should be celebrated more often, as they serve a greater purpose in our self worth.  

In this episode, we chat with Jenny Brown, a developer advocate at Google and a facilitator of Google’s #IAmRemarkable , an event that aims to empower women and other underrepresented groups to celebrate their achievements in the workplace and beyond. We chat about Jenny’s non traditional path to Google and the unique characteristics that she brings to the table, the purpose of #IAmRemarkable and how initiating conversations about self-reflection & sharing moments of internal validation can help create spaces where everyone can celebrate being their most authentic self.
