In 2022, in the thick of a pandemic that forced the world to slow down and pay attention, I had what I now call my “Come-to-Jesus” moment.  📌Not with fear. 📌Not with shame. 📌But with clarity. I was no longer willing to keep performing a version of myself that was acceptable, polished, "safe" - but completely detached from who I really am. Like so many Black and Caribbean women in leadership, I'd spent years mastering the art of success through suppression.
