The article emphasizes the importance of repositioning one's professional value, particularly for Black professionals who often face underestimation despite their qualifications. It proposes a 90-day plan focused on redefining personal branding through storytelling, impact demonstration, and enhancing digital presence. The author suggests that instead of merely listing experience, individuals should articulate their impact and achievements. It outlines actionable strategies for crafting a compelling narrative on digital platforms, which serve as key tools for career progression and visibility in diverse industries.
You've done the work. You've earned the degrees, led the teams, surpassed expectations and raised the bar. Yet somehow, you're still being underestimated, not because you're unqualified, but because many systems still don't know how to recognize Black innovation unless it fits a box they've seen before.
Instead of simply listing your experience, tell the story of your impact. Audit your résumé and LinkedIn, replacing generic, task-based language with storytelling and measurable results.
