Celebrating Black History Month with Jessie Frias
When I was asked if I would like to be featured in this month's newsletter I had a couple of reactions. The first one was excitement, followed by anxiety, nervousness, and then fear. Initially I wanted to say no because of deadlines and the feeling that I would be adding yet another ball to my juggling act. Being a single mom to a college freshman who is struggling with the pressures of her first year can be exhausting, adding to that acting as the healthcare proxy to my mom and the pressures of work, performing?to the best of my abilities can be for lack of a better word a lot! So I decided to take the leap and said yes and here I am giving you all a little piece of who I am and my journey within the lighting industry.?
