Sandrine Charles's encounter at a Mary J. Blige concert was pivotal, shifting her career perspective beyond traditional Caribbean roles. Captivated by the event's social dynamics, she became intrigued by those appearing to lead, realizing that success could come from enjoyable experiences. This inspired her to break out of her introverted shell through internships in PR and music, ultimately shaping her into a notable figure in fashion as the founder of the Black In Fashion Council and owner of a consulting agency. The transformation illustrates the power of unexpected experiences in career development.
The way I looked at my career [at the time]-you know, being Caribbean-the options are doctor, lawyer or engineer.
I thought the girls outside were in charge because they had the clipboards. They just knew everyone and didn't have to check everyone's names.
At work, I'm an extrovert. Generally, unless I know you personally, I'm an introvert.
I went and really provided myself with an experience that would change the trajectory of my work ethic.
