Manage episode 426985305 series 3330788
In the second episode as a part of our series on how young people deal with being Patronised, Julia is joined by Priya who works in commercial real estate in New York City, a space where being a young woman of colour is rather uncommon, and having to justify one's presence and expertise is to be expected. Sophie had a question for Priya - While Sophie was elected to power, Priya was appointed; in tough times, how does Priya remind herself of her legitimacy? How do you make space for yourself when the odds are stacked against you? How do you learn that credit for your contribution needs to be more than a pat on the back? How do you learn the language so that when you get a seat at the table you can hold your own? How do you balance ambition and patience?
About the Guest: Priya Ananthanathan is the Director of Development Services for Denham Wolf Real Estate Services. She is curious about ways to improve connections between the public sector and private organizations to create healthier and happier communities.
