#LosetoWinSXSW22

Beautiful Ugly Truth: Losing Teaches You to Win

Mar 16, 2022

2:30pm – 3:30pm CT

What are some things this panel has in common? Failure after college that led to success, cultural and societal pressures to meet expectations, mutual experiences in struggling to find confidence in our careers. To many, this may come across as negative similarities — but to us, it's the beautiful truth that lies within the journey to achievement. In this discussion, we'll uncover the truth about topics like layoffs that served as building blocks, how we found our passion after graduation, breaking into the tech field as Black/Brown professionals, and how we're mentoring those that look like us to achieve. In hindsight, rejection and struggle is a beautiful thing. We can't wait to tell you why!
