A virtual social-networking workshop, “Let’s Talk: Collective Healing, Building Community & Getting to the Coin,” was held on April 2 at 7 p.m. by CODA and The Visionary Squad, a community with a mission to create space for Black women to connect. The event aimed to address the importance of building connections with other individuals and how to succeed on career paths through different skill sets.
Karen Foster and Blaire Hervey, co-founders of The Visionary Squad, spoke at the event. Foster started the workshop by addressing the difficulties of presenting oneself authentically at certain occasions in workplaces, especially for a woman of color within a white-predominant working environment. With such difficulties, Foster said, it is vital to recognize and acknowledge who you are and what you genuinely want in life.
