Odd Versus Even: The Prime Number Of Systemic Racism And What We Can Do About It.
Talent Is Even, And Opportunity Is Odd.
“A plan is an ideal. A plan is not a blueprint.”
My #GranPa
I have always prided myself on being a (mad) man with a plan. Yet often, I have learned after many personal and professional failures that I can change plans.
A plan is an ideal to aim for. If I grow if I acquire new information, I can change my plan.
There is no shame in that.
1. A STORY OF GRIT AND RESILIENCE.
Often at work, I will try to discuss systemic racism. Often I feel like I am ignored.
Sometimes people pay attention just to be able to argue back.
As we are having this discussion, I try to share my feelings.
Being in an environment where my skin color, cultural background, and life journey differ from most colleagues can be a daily challenge.
As I discussed with another colleague, working in the same company is like being in the same storm.
Yes, we are not in the same boat.
