Charity Blackwell Speaker Profile: At A Glance

Explore the meaning of “owning your legacy through your work” through an immersive spoken word performance and keynote. As most women who are navigating their professional careers in male dominated industries, we often find ourselves as the the “first” of many things. The first woman of color to become CEO of a company. The first woman under 30 to land a senior level c-suite position. The first woman to go to college in their family. We're constantly trailblazers in our own rights. So what now? How are we working for the now while also building pathways for those future women leaders who trail behind us? What will be your legacy in YOUR work?
