In this powerful second part of my conversation with communications expert Jerry Jerome, we delve deeper into the complexities of "Performing Professionalism" as Black and Brown professionals. We unpack the challenges of navigating corporate spaces that often demand we "subtract" from ourselves to "add" to the environment.

Jerry challenges us to question whose imagination we're living in and encourages us to draw inspiration from those who truly have our best interests at heart. We discuss the importance of assessing our individual situations, understanding our value, and recognizing that money is a tool we can leverage to create our own opportunities.

Key takeaways:

• The importance of self-reflection and understanding your value beyond your job title.
• Challenging the false narrative of the American meritocracy.
• Recognizing that corporate America is a game and learning how to play it strategically.
• The power of humility and the importance of sharing knowledge and opportunities with others.
• Understanding that money is a tool, not a definition of value.

Jerry's wisdom transcends his years, reminding us that we are all capable of defining our own success and creating a life that aligns with our authentic selves.
