In this episode, I share my 20+ year journey from fascinated 11-year-old computer enthusiast to corporate IT department head to purpose-driven entrepreneur. I reveal how my technical foundation became my entrepreneurial superpower, the challenges of being a Black woman in tech, and the powerful mindset shifts that helped me build Innovategy Solutions®. This is my story about rediscovering my original mission and learning that success isn't defined by climbing the corporate ladder, it's about creating a business that aligns with your purpose and gives you the freedom to serve authentically.
