Please join us on Monday, October 18, 2021 at 6:00pm for a lively Zoom discussion between author, journalist, and media executive Paula Williams Madison and AAWE board member Pauline Lemasson.
The conversation will be in English.
At age 58, Paula Madison was at the peak of her career as an NBC Universal executive overseeing diversity and inclusion when she decided to walk away from it all. She pursued a life-long passion to go in search of her grandfather, a Chinese merchant who settled in Jamaica. But this decision was anything but rash; everything she had accomplished to this point, including her career as a journalist and network brass, had been leading to this moment. Her personal journey culminated in a documentary film and memoir, Finding Samuel Lowe, a meticulously researched and deeply moving story about familial love and devotion that transcends race, space and time.
We will talk about planning and pursuing our dream projects, life and work balance, and the importance of diverse women’s voices and expertise.
