Summary

Navigating your career isn’t always a linear path but if there’s one thing my Mom has taught me it’s to know your worth. My Mom, Jerri DeVard, has truly mastered building the career and future that she always imagined. And her influence on my own ambition to create what I want to see in the world - this podcast included - cannot be understanded. Tune in to revisit my chat with her from 2021, where we sat down to discuss her journey as a senior marketing executive in corporate America (including her job at Revlon!), advocating for yourself in the workplace, founding the Black Executive CMO Alliance (BECA), and so much more.
