My year began, on January 9th to be exact, with being terminated from my job. My dream job no less. Not because of workforce reduction. Not because of my performance. Not because of anything I had failed to do. But rather, because of what I DID do—which was to follow our company’s policy and report sexual harassment. And for doing the right thing, I received the ultimate wrong. Retaliation which culminated in the loss of my job. At the beginning of the pandemic, when there was not a job to be found. I spent days that stretched into weeks mired in self-despair. My identity was gone. I was no longer the Chief Marketing Officer of United Way, the world’s largest non-profit, but just Lisa Bowman, ordinary citizen.
