“WHO DOES SHE THINK SHE IS?”
I know this question well and it used to silence and shame me. As a Black woman in the finance industry, I’ve been met with confusion, apprehension, disrespect, and disapproval.
Who do I think I am to take up space?
My entire life has been an exercise in introducing myself. So, I come ready. I know exactly who I am and introduce myself early and often until people forget their assumptions and only recognize my truth.
I am Mele Miller and I am the future of money culture.
