デルタ航空さんのインスタグラム写真 - (デルタ航空Instagram)「"I remember my first day at Delta Air Lines as I walked through the Flight Attendant Training Center halls. That’s right, after receiving an undergraduate degree from Hampton University, I joined Delta as a Flight Attendant. That first day filled me with a range of emotions: the excitement in starting a new career, the uncertainty of being accepted, and an insane pressure to succeed. As my career progressed, I began to take these emotions as a condition of being a Black woman in corporate America. Acceptance is a universal desire, but being an ambitious, working woman in corporate America creates additional pressures, including the likelihood of isolation and failure. Add the blessing of being African American, and you have a greater probability of not achieving your goals. More than once, I've been guilty of shrinking myself to allow others to feel more comfortable. It can be exhausting, surfing through the constant advice women often receive: “Speak up." "Ask for what you want." "Earn your seat at the table." while also hearing "Don’t be aggressive, or sharp or too direct, you don’t want to be seen as intimidating." With maturity has come the confidence to embrace my authentic voice. There are still moments when I reflect on all the advice, particularly when I may be the “only one” in the room. Now, these reflections reinforce a need to be true to me versus working to fit someone else's idea of how a woman should show up. My advice? Use every new suggestion to further define your authentic self, then get to work. We have to play an active role in creating the working world we know we deserve." - Sandy G. - SVP of Airport Operations Here's to the disruptors, shakers and powerhouses that fuel our engines.
