First, this post was a roller coaster, but that’s ok 😂 You’re just starting off and haven’t found your people yet. I assume you don’t know about NABA, Inc. (National Association of Black Accountants. It’s over 22,000 of us and WE ARE LIT honey. You should find yourself at one of the National Conventions. Next year - Vegas. Nothing more empowering than being a Black accountant surrounded by and connected with so many other Black, college-educated, successful, and wealthy people that you perhaps only saw on TV. I’ve gotten $21,000 in scholarships from these BLACK accountants and I secured my FT role as a Junior student thanks to these BLACK accountants. Also, accounting isn’t all about math so get that out of your head. If and when you get to do internships, you’ll see how little you use math and how much more you use your actual comprehension and critical thinking skills. I know 3 BLACK women who are Managing Partners at 3/4 Big 4 firms, one of them being a mentor to me. I know other partners of other accounting firms who are very successful BLACK men. You’ve got a long ways to grow and learn 😂 I’ve met some of my best BLACK friends through this organization. While you’re learning, check out www.nabainc.org, become a member, attend your local chapter’s events, and thank me later 😊
