39: 2020 Year in Review with Kenya Dixon

01/05/21 • 27 min

This year has posed challenges for many in our Stellar Women community. Some have had to navigate remote work with virtual learning, others have had to find new ways to connect with colleagues and loved ones, and many have found new opportunities in the wake of the chaos.

This year’s Stellar Women Innovation Award Winner, Kenya Dixon, joined Mila and myself to share what she’s learned about herself this year, connecting with mentors both inside and outside of your industry, and why you should always have a plan (and be OK if that plan shifts in a completely new direction).

She has followed her passion and skillset throughout her life, whether that is becoming a DJ (who met Joe Jonas) to playing professional rugby to ultimately, embarking on a career in tech. Check out this episode to learn how Betty pivoted when life through an unexpected curve her way and she fostered a new path.
