Mentorship has always been one of the most meaningful parts of my professional journey.

I can still remember the mentors who took time to listen, guide, and encourage me when I was finding my voice as a leader. Their support didn’t just shape my career… it shaped my confidence, my purpose, and my commitment to lifting others as I climb.

That’s why I’m truly honored to return for my 4th year as a mentor at Atlanta Business Chronicle’s Bizwomen Mentoring Monday 2026.

This incredible event brings women together for powerful conversations about leadership, growth, and career direction, and I’m looking forward to connecting with the next generation of leaders.

As a proud Spelman College c/o ’89 graduate, I’m especially excited to support and inspire women who are building bold futures.

There was a time when minorities intentionally left their photos off their resumes to avoid discrimination in the hiring process. Then, laws and corporate diversity initiatives helped level the playing field—at least in part—by encouraging diverse qualified candidate slates and encouraging inclusive hiring practices.

But now, with executive orders rolling back these initiatives, companies are being told to remove diversity references from job descriptions and are no longer encouraged to interview a diverse slate of qualified candidates. Given these changes, should minorities reconsider how they present themselves online?

Since LinkedIn functions as a modern resume, is it time to rethink having profile pictures on professional platforms to mitigate bias in hiring?
