Overcoming Impossible Odds - Rising to New Heights Amidst Grief
As 2023 comes to a close, I would like to share a personal story about receiving a promotion at General Motors while simultaneously grieving the loss of my older brother.
Life often gives us some monumental trials. Over a year ago, I found myself balancing new leadership responsibilities after receiving a significant promotion at GM, along with the heartbreaking loss of my older brother, Antwan. Juggling the sorrow and pain alongside the expectations of my new role was no easy feat.
My brother and I were raised to exhibit authentic resilience and to find ways navigating murky waters of uncertainty, but also to transform adversity into opportunity.
I have learned on this journey how to persist in the face of adversity and how to transform grief into positive energy and determination. This, combined with unwavering support and faith, has guided me through even the toughest moments.?

I hope this platform allows us to connect, learn, and inspire each other.?
I look forward to sharing my thoughts, learnings, and stories on this fantastic journey. Stay tuned!?
