Hi guys!

Happy Easter!! HE IS RISENNN, We hope you've managed to reset, reflect and enjoy the long weekend.

In this episode, we discuss all things careers, including our dream jobs as children, navigating closed doors and the pressure to make inauthentic career decisions. We also discuss the importance of diversifying the concept of 'Black Excellence' by exposing ourselves to unconventional stories of career success.

We hope this is particularly beneficial to those in their final stage of university who are navigating making their first career move. Let us know if this resonated with you!

Have an amazing start to the week and stay blessed,

Ruth and Josh!
