In this episode, I talk about:

My reaction to the promotion
Whether I always wanted to be a partner from day 1
My best career strategies that helped me get to where I am
Staying in one place vs job hopping (my thoughts)
My greatest lesson on leadership so far
Am I Nervous about this chapter, and if I am, how i'm handling it
What I plan to do with my raise
How to scale your career as someone stuck in a specialist role
Best advice for mid-level career woman, also an immigrant
What I wish I had done differently
My struggles with impostor syndrome and how I overcame it
Am I happy?
How I'm fully embracing this new season and fully taking up space
What I'm most proud of

I would not be here without so many people. My family, my many mentors and sponsors, my friends. This win has been celebrated by so many people, some of whom I've never even met. It is not lost on me that this means so much not only to me but to so many others. Thank you for celebrating this win with so much joy, as though it is yours. It truly is ours. My Scotland crew, my work crew, Winona crew, the Ikorodu crew, my Minneapolis family, My RAOJs, this online community! Tosin and RSD, thank you!!
