In between job hunting (aggressively) for the next great big project in Nigeria and fresh from the overwhelming 'wokeness' of Black History Month, totally forgot that it was Womens' month this March.
But the good folks at LinkedIn who never fail to utilize every opportunity to relish in their achievements however minute they may seem (even attendance of mere events), did not let this pass them by. They also lined up some cool Women's Day events to not only further tout their horns and their accomplishments, but to groom young women on how to resoundingly navigate their careers as women in a male-dominated and male-celebrated world. I only attended for the free food and opportunity to network, neither of which this event had to offer. Nevertheless, some pointers and notables resonated with me and served as reassurance as I continue with forging a career in this dense climate.
Here's to kicking butt! Hopefully, reclaiming our stance in the corporate world. Shaking the tables of conformity...owning this ish...and most importantly, here's to achieving zero tolerance of gender discriminatory job ads. We would no longer tolerate ads that state: Male only.
