I spent the last few days focusing on myself and building my own brand! The power packed 3 days had 15+ sessions by 30+ mentors, speakers , women and men! A phenomenal privilege to be a part of 2024 cohort along with 30 other women, each one unique and inspiring in its own way forging lifelong friendships and network.
