How has being Neurodivergent shaped the direction of your career?
Dyslexia is daily… but I wouldn’t be authentically me without dyslexia as it’s giving me so many advantages… in seeing the world through a creative lens. My high-level thinking, seeing the bigger picture visually, hyper-focus on my interests, seeing patterns others do not see and conceptual thinking.
What advice would you give to another Neurodivergent woman navigating their way through life?
I think it’s important to surround yourself with a tribe of like-minded people, self-love and acceptance are really important too. Also, have a can-do attitude and ask others for help along the way. Try to build a toolkit of resources and strategies to support yourself.
My grandma used to say that I had to work twice as hard as a Black woman, I carried this with me as race, gender and disability has had a significant impact on me.
