This is so amazing! @linkedin featured my story as a #firstgeneration college (and high school) graduate and how it has taught me to be a more resilient leader and founder. Being first gen is one of the most challenging things to face when you start your career, amongst peers coming from wealth or success. I sat down with LinkedIn and shared what my college experience was like, how I navigated building a career without a network or connections, and the advantages of first gen students in the business world. Shoutout to the late Ted Rogers for giving me the national scholarship to attend @trsmtorontomet @torontomet ✨ I truly believe coming from a lower class, blue collar, etc environment can make you more successful in entrepreneurship because you have a greater depth of understanding to the human condition and understand more problems that need to be solved across various communities. This is a huge advantage for building a company!
