several Google employees, especially
women wanting to create opportunities
for their professional growth.
WHAT MOVIE OR SHOW IS MUST-WATCH
FOR CELEBRATING DIVERSITY? " The
Walking Dead. " Back in its early years,
there wasn't a show on cable or
broadcast with as diverse a cast with
fully realized characters and, ultimately,
leaders and heroes like Glenn and
Michonne. It turns out that the writer's
room for the show was diverse-with
a Black male executive producer and
Asian-American showrunner.

ADVICE I WOULD GIVE A RECENT GRADUATE:
Remain curious and prepare to
pivot. Curiosity is where I believe you
anchor the building blocks of your
life, testing and learning, while being
present with each experience.

WHAT DOES WORK-LIFE BALANCE MEAN TO YOU? I don't see work-life balance as a
strict division between work and personal life, but rather a harmony between the two. The goal is to achieve flexibility
and autonomy, allowing me to prioritize effectively, engage meaningfully and continuously learn and grow.

WHAT MOVIE OR SHOW IS MUST-WATCH
FOR CELEBRATING DIVERSITY? " American
Fiction. " Cord Jefferson tells a
brilliant story of grappling with one's
identity juxtaposed against the cultural
identity others impose on you.
It's a reminder that, though people
with a common diverse background
may have many shared experiences,
everyone faces their own struggles
and enjoys their own successes.
