The Role of The First
The Role of The First

"Success is not an option for first generation college students -- It is a requirement."
"Success is not an option for first generation college students -- It is a requirement."
How do we maneuver the expectations of our family, community, and culture while still honoring our potential and our purpose?
Michelle’s talk invites you to experience her journey as "The First": the first person in her family to graduate from college, the first to enter corporate America, the first to break many barriers in a male dominated industry, and the first to experience the many challenges that came with choosing her own definition of success above all else.
Oh yeah, and I almost didn't give the talk. Here's why: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/role-first-michelle-avalos-speaks-tedxhoustonwomen-michelle-avalos/

Here's how we can connect:
If you're someone who is passionate about solving a community problem that is near and dear to your heart, I would love to connect and learn more! If I can't help you, I'll connect you with someone who can.
If you're a student or young professional who is not sure (yet) of what's next for your career path, I would be happy to set up a 1:1 to discuss together. I'll do my best to help where I can.
If you're looking to support changemakers on their journey, I would love to meet you, too!
