Hey sis,
I would like to thank you for showing up for me at the Western Union Foundation Summit last week Tuesday. I could feel the love from all the sisters who were cheering me on, even from my screen. You showed up and showed out. Thank you for being amazing and I appreciate your support.
Sis, I am so excited to announce our newest column at Sisterly HQ to you. Every week, you get to ask Yvonne Alozie Obi, a career expert with years of experience, your burning career questions and she will answer them! The column officially launches in this newsletter this week Saturday, as well as our LinkedIn and Instagram pages (make sure you are following). In the meantime, you can submit your career questions here: bit.ly/AskACareerConsultant
