This Women’s History Month, OpenSesame is celebrating our women colleagues across the organization. Today, International Women’s Day, we’re shining the spotlight on the women of our senior leadership team. Hear their first-hand advice to future leaders and what this nationally recognized day means to them.
The other day I was aimlessly scrolling LinkedIn and scrolled past a rare sighting. Actually who am I kidding? It wasn’t a rare sighting. It was something I’d actually never seen before, except for when I look at my own profile. I scrolled past a brown face with box braids wrapped up into a perfectly round top knot. I was less intrigued by her hair and more so by her headline–partnerships and alliances expert. There’s another Black person who works in partnerships.
As part of our celebration of Black History Month, OpenSesame is empowering black voices and featuring stories from our colleagues. Read on to hear from Roo Gatimu, Sales Development Representative and co-leader of the Black Folx ERG (Employee Resource Group) at OpenSesame.
