In this episode of the Impostrix Podcast, I sit down with Kisha Brown, Esq., the founder and CEO of Justis Connection, the first black attorney referral network in the country. Kisha shares her journey of being a practicing attorney to transitioning into the world of legal tech entrepreneurship. We discuss the importance of creating a community, the challenges and unexpected positives of being an entrepreneur, and the significance of seeking professional support in the business world.
Here are three key takeaways from our conversation:
1) Having the Audacity of White Men: Kisha and Whitney marvel at the audacity of white men who are totally fine faking it until they make it and compare to the critical eye and high standards Black women face from ourselves and others. What if we had the audacity of white men? How would we move in our careers and what risks would we take?
2) Creating Community and Identity: Kisha highlighted the importance of creating a supportive community in any space you choose to be in. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals who understand your journey can provide comfort and confidence in the identities you've taken on.
3) Balancing Motherhood and Entrepreneurship: Kisha shared how being an entrepreneur has given her the flexibility to balance motherhood and work. The ability to own her time and make decisions that align with her family's needs has been a significant positive outcome of her transition.
4) Fortifying Yourself as an Entrepreneur: Kisha emphasized the need to fortify oneself as an entrepreneur, especially in the face of challenges and uncertainties. Building resilience and self-support is crucial for navigating the ups and downs of entrepreneurship.
