If you had to choose today, would you shrink to fit or rise to lead?

In this empowering episode, Jackie sits down with tech powerhouse Nikki Barua to explore the game-changing impact of AI, the immigrant hustle, and the power of representation. Nikkie is a Serial Entrepreneur, Author, Keynote Speaker, and the interim CEO of Latinas in Tech. From growing up in India with a collage of powerful women (with her face at the center!) to becoming a Tech and Innovation Global Leader, Nikki shares how belief, vision, and relentless drive helped her break glass ceilings—and how she's now helping others do the same.
