In this intimate and honest conversation, Dawn reconnects with longtime friend and former mentor Ali, an Afro-Latina, Caribbean-born technologist whose journey spans cybersecurity, data analytics, AI engineering, and beyond.
Together, they explore what it really means to lead and live well in the tech industry—where success demands not just skill, but soul.
You’ll hear insights on:
- 🌍 Building a thriving career while honoring your identity and personal story.
- 💪 The art of salary negotiation and knowing your worth in a competitive field.
- 🧘🏾♀️ The intersection of leadership, emotional growth, and self-care.
- 💭 Why rest and reflection are forms of progress, not pauses.

From their shared experiences as Black professionals in corporate spaces to lessons learned through mentoring, Ali and Dawn remind us that professional growth and personal well-being are not opposing forces—they’re partners in building a sustainable, fulfilling career.
