6 Life Lessons from Highly Successful Women of Color |
|
As the school year launches, these career tips for women of color seem equally valuable for girls of color in school. Share them with the teen or tween in your life! |
|
- Clarify your life plan and your values. The plan keeps you focused, while clarifying your values helps you change course if necessary.
- Cultivate relationships with mentors and allies. Actively seek them out; both are crucial for your success.
- Be open to constructive criticism. Understand others’ motivations so you can distinguish between helpful and harmful criticism.
- Prioritize your health. Women of color are more susceptible to stress-related health problems.
- Commit yourself fully to your success. Capitalize on your strengths, but push yourself outside your comfort zone.
- Know your worth. Advocate for yourself and don’t let others define or confine you.
