This episode was recorded during a global pandemic that forced Sherrell to forego all her travel. For these reasons, she spent a quiet afternoon with us from her Atlanta home.

Sherrell Dorsey is the Founder of tpinsights.com, an advocate for minority entrepreneurs, and data journalist from Columbia University. She has been featured on media outlets across the globe for her thought leadership and ability to paint the picture using data. She went from finessing her way into jobs that allowed her to manage social media throughout college - to writing $15 articles for tech companies - to running a successful business that works with top brands we have all come to know. In this episode of Too Be Blunt, we talk about Sherrell’s upbringing and the story she wants the world to hear. She takes time to give grace to her mother and her childhood as she credits “the weird and nerdy” as the most memorable parts of her life. We discuss how she went through a period of uncertainty -she spent time on the beach wondering for 3 months what next steps to take. We talk about what companies to watch as we head into the “New Normal” and the light that has been shined on issues that marginalized communities have been facing for centuries. Sherrell talks about her mission of helping people receive access to basic necessities such as broadband internet and the approach we should be taking with the youth. She believes in a world where we all have access to resources that make living life possible in the new age. We spend time talking about the confidence she came to realize she has and how it has helped her find her tribe. “I deserve to be in every room”

Welcome to Too Be Blunt. We look forward to sharing our vulnerability with you in hopes that it encourages you to go on your own journey of self-discovery.
