Hey!
Have a sit down, and let me tell you the REAL STORY of how you came to be here with me today.
Last year, I interviewed with the most well-known aerospace agency (the one whose name is on every other t-shirt). They were hiring someone to assist students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) in improving their internship applications.
I was beyond excited! Between my junior year in high school and college graduation, I had secured four STEM internships in state and federal labs. I began my career as an intern scientist, and I love writing, so who better than me to teach underrepresented students how to improve their applications? Right??
WRONG! I was not chosen, and boy was I hurt! Y’all, I cried (hard) and replayed the interview over and over in my head. I felt that I had failed and missed out on the “perfect” job. I lamented to a friend about how badly I wanted to do that work and how necessary it was. “Well, why you gotta do it for them?” she said. “Do it for yourself.” My response was, “Huh?!”
See, I had let rejection convince me that I was somehow unqualified. Lie #1! I also believed that the only way I could do this work was to be supported by a large, prominent corporation. Lie #2! My Spelman sis, conversely, was speaking TRUTH! If I genuinely believed in the work, why was I waiting for someone to ALLOW me to do it?
Hence, came the establishment of Write Frame Consulting, LLC.
