Hey sis,
I hope your week is off to a great start. I hope this week brings you ease, courage, and rest. You’d be surprised how well these three go together.
Ask A Career Consultant Live was mind-blowing! Several attendees said it was the best program they had attended this year. Some, even ever! It was such a transformative gathering, and honestly, words can not describe how impactful it was. You had to be there in person to feel it. Head over to our highlights on Instagram to see some snippets from the event.
We will be going on a short break till June 30! This means no newsletters from me till then. However, the opportunity board on Sisterly HQ’s website will continue to be updated weekly. There will always be new jobs, scholarships, internships and many more on our website. So make sure to bookmark it and check it periodically.
We’ll be unveiling an exciting new program in the next few months! Key word: Match. Can you guess what it is? That said… See you soon, sis!
