Hustle Grind Shine & Reignite: Episode 9 with Latisha M. Roberson

Hustle Grind Shine & Reignite with Jessica Hartley

Since she was a little girl, Latisha M. Roberson was obsessed with her teachers in school and just knew that she was going to be a teacher. Through a chance opportunity as part of a mock trial team in middle school where she met an African-American attorney, the direction of her life was forever changed by that fortunate coincidence. As an HR executive and diversity and inclusion professional, Latisha M. Roberson has spent most of her career building, developing and evolving innovative talent programs for Fortune 500 companies and non-profit organizations. In this episode, join us as we go on a journey from Capitol Hill to consulting for big corporations to providing coaching and career services empowering women of color in the workplace.
In this episode we cover:

• How to turn a career crossroads into a career pivot that propels you forward
• Why you should stop giving your genius away for free, and the power your network has in speaking up for you (especially when you’re not in the room)
• Why transparency about your parental boundaries and self-care time is critical not only for you, but also as an example for your team (hint: take a hookie day)
