The maze of passion, purpose, and career is a journey of familiar crossroads that many face after graduation. This tangled web is especially true for those brimming with creativity, like our artists, whose imaginative prowess often goes unnoticed or undervalued in the traditional job market. How long should one knock on doors that won't open? How many rejections can the heart bear, especially when the very essence of your identity feels rejected?

In this episode of The May We Know Them Podcast, Jacqueline Nwankwo poignantly describes this quandary. From the heartache of repeated rejections from graduate schools to the soul-crushing moment where she left work to weep on her couch, burdened with the weight of stress-induced muscle spasms, Jax knows what it’s like to push and push for something you aren’t even sure you want anymore.

But, as the saying goes… “It's always darkest before the dawn.” For Jacqueline, a light blazed bright through a powerful realization: changing direction isn't synonymous with quitting. This revelation freed her, setting her on a path where she wasn't merely surviving, but thriving. Within a month, she launched her VA business, leaving behind the confines of an industry that seemed to have no room for her. Now, she no longer fears closed doors and steers into pivots without shame.

In true #StrongWoman fashion, we welcome you to embrace Jacqueline's words as they unfold. Ponder on them. Note down feelings they evoke – be it validation or unease. Her story is more than a sharing opportunity; it's an invitation. Immerse yourself in this heartfelt conversation, as we toast to the power of choice. Engage, reflect, and remember – you hold the pen to your story. Dive deep, share, and let us together uplift the essence of crafting our own destinies.🌟🎙️❤️
