Oh my gosh, what a real fan girl moment, I forgot everything I wanted to say, then got emotional You come to mind often as I think about how I want to portray myself, and lead myself- thank you.
I believe Scarlett is leading the way within the EDI arena with her actions and approaches to topics that are normally viewed as ‘difficult to talk about’ or seen as taboo to approach. Its really refreshing to see and I hope that we see more companies following this path in the (very near) future.
