Breakthrough Conversations With Lakisha Jackson

<p>Lean into Angela’s high-energy conversation with Lakisha Jackson, Growth &amp; Partnerships Director at Firstline Brands, a Blackowned enterprise specializing in haircare tools and accessories designed for multicultural hair types. Lakisha is a proud graduate of the University of Houston (Go Coogs!), and she recently won the Nerdy Girl Success Women Making an Impact Trailblazer Award for her efforts involving her network &amp; community in raising funds to provide scholarships for girls in the Houston area. Lakisha had always known that marketing and advertising were her passions points. (The 90’s hit TV show, <em>Living Single</em>, with Queen Latifah spoke to her soul!) Lakisha’s journey may be similar to so many others.  She started with a clear vision and straight lines to desired objectives….and the pivots came later, at unexpected times. Lakisha’s pivots challenged her to reconstruct her work ethic, and tap into her internal tools to manage anxiety. Though it all, she honed her superpowers of authenticity and kept moving forward; reminding us that if we remain stagnant, the great things intended for us may not reach us. We may not be able to choose when all of our highs and lows will enter our experience, but let’s take a play from Lakisha and channel our inner-Beyonce vibes to help mentally frame our pivots into our net meaningful breakthroughs.</p><p>Pivots are not detours; they are the breakthroughs needed to expand the path forward.
