Meet your newest Director of Product Management. I’m Black, a woman, and disabled. I really am breaking glass ceilings out here ✨It’s just the beginning.
Oh shit, I’m in the future already. Going to break more glass ceilings. Blessed.

Just because one is Black doesn’t mean they want to work in DEI.

The best question you can ask as a candidate in job interviews is “what’s the 90 day plan?” ✨ It tells the interviewer you mean business. It’s a question that has moved me to the final rounds many times as a candidate. As a hiring manager, it’s my favorite question.

Omg yes! In college, I launched 3 startups while nabbing my first product role with a TechCrunch-featured startup at 19. Product management wasn’t my initial plan, so I pursued these ventures on the side for $. Little did I know, they paved the way for my 6-figure PM role at 25!
If you're looking to build your skills and add to your resume, you should take matters in your own hands and pursue your own projects.
I encourage you to check out entrepreneurship. An excellent way to leverage your skills and add to them, build a rep and make some money.

Job seekers, make sure your resume is clean and concise for the ATS to read.
It's great to have a creatively designed resume. However, if the resume can't be read by the ATS, it won't be seen by the recruiter.
