Inspiring Women Share their Career Stories with EVEN - Yemi Penn
EVEN is the career development platform that gives women access to knowledge, to community, and to career support.
Our EVEN experts are impressive and inspiring women who have led successful careers and who are ready to share the stories of how they’ve done it.
EVEN experts are real. They share the unvarnished truth and their hard-earned expertise.
It doesn’t get more real and inspiring than Yemi Penn, renowned TEDx and keynote speaker, researcher, and entrepreneur.
Yemi gave us a healthy dose of inspiration and courage. We talked a lot about how to rise from trauma and adversity.
Yemi herself is no stranger to both trauma and adversity, having gone through homelessness and single motherhood aged 24. But she has found a way to break with the story of victimhood, and instead has become a force to be reckoned with.
We especially loved:
Her encouragement to dream unreasonably
Her concept of rebellious curiosity.
