H@H: Ep 49 – Nuhamin Woldemariam joins host, Paulina Lee on this week’s episode of Here@Haas. Nuhamin, shares her journey from Ethiopia to Chicago and finally to the Bay Area. She also discusses her pivot from accounting to recruiting to consulting and finding her current career working in Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging at LinkedIn. Other themes in the episode are the Black experience in America and Corporate America, corporate culture, allyship, privilege and creating boundaries for yourself.Nuhamin also shares the importance of finding a workplace that allows you to be your true self, “I always have a really hard time not being genuine. And I remember in a longer conversation, he ended up telling me this is a really great value to have in life. But it's not going to help you be great at this company and you are not going to succeed. I just remember looking at him and I said, ‘yeah, that's not gonna work for me.’”Nuhamin on how DEI has evolved over the past year:“I've been fortunate to sit in rooms with some of our leadership to see them with my own eyes and hear them say, we want to see real change and we're willing to do whatever it takes. And it's not just for show, these conversations are happening internally. It's really cool because they're also pushing us. So we get to push ourselves even further.”Nuhamin’s advice for our newest Haasies:“Enter Haas with a blank canvas. I went in with a perspective of this is going to be a great experience, but I already have really good friends. And so I'm not really trying to make besties here. And I ended up making some of my best friends through the program and it took some time for me to become open.”ResourcesLinkedIn’s Allyship AcademyForte FoundationAll About Love by Bell HooksUnlocking Us by Brene BrownBetter AlliesSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/here-at-haas/donations
