My head is buzzing with all of the topics, workshops, panels and people I've encountered on my trip to Chicago, from the UNITY convention last week. For those of you who may not already know about it, it's a huge assembly of journalists mainly of minority (Hispanic, African-American, Asian and Native American) descent, who spend a week taking classes and networking with other people who are already in the business or who are aspiring to be. From television anchors to college interns the McCormick Place Convention Center was lively with all of the energy and contagious ambition my fellow journalists had.
Along with meeting incredibly smart, ambitious and successful people I got to take some great classes and listen to the advice from some amazing panelists like Soledad O'Brien (CNN.)
However, in between classes I did get a chance to sneak into the job fair and after I got over the overwhelming lines that snaked around the halls and booths of each attendee I did manage to speak to some of the most experienced people in the business and get incredible feedback on my resume. Which is why this little video is for you! Thank you for taking the time to interview and meet with me this past week!
