Are you a woman in privacy and cybersecurity?
Once upon a time, I struggled with shining light on my diverse professional background. I was in an uncomfortably weird space – why did I feel like I had to choose between law and IT? Who had the audacity to define me?
I knew what I wanted. I wanted to embrace both worlds, humbly announce my multiplicity of skills, knowledge and expertise. So, I built and worked on my own brand. Besides, this life isn’t a dress rehearsal. I have written about how I got into data privacy and studied for the certification with small children.
I echo this quote by Toni Morrison:
“This is the time for every artist in every genre to do what he or she does loudly and consistently. It doesn’t matter to me what your position is.”
If you are where I was:
- You are tired of folks trying to define you.
- You know that you can be more and do more.
- You have diverse skills and tired of hiding them.
- You want to build and launch your online platform and brand.
- You want to use your knowledge and expertise beyond your 9-5.
What’s the solution for women in privacy and cybersecurity?
How can you impact your generation?
I teach women in privacy and cybersecurity to build personal brands, create online courses, walk into rooms with confidence, use their voices in events, shine their light and impact their world. You are blessed with gifts and talents and there’s no time like now to activate that gift zone and operate in your place of brilliance.
Just like Toni Morrison’s quote, do what you do loudly and consistently. There’s a lot you can do with what you know. It’s time to shine your light. Today, not tomorrow.
