Embark with determination

As an Afro–descendant woman who studied engineering, I’ve always been a minority. My main selection criterion for an employer was a welcoming environment where my race, gender and personality would be respected and celebrated. This is how I learned about the McKinsey Black Network.

When I started as a summer intern, I quickly learned the challenges we face aren’t easy to solve. I’m grateful to have my McKinsey Black Network family and many other great colleagues by my side to help me.

To help McKinsey translate its commitment to diversity and inclusion into actions within Brazil, I participated in the Together Conference . This event, organized by McKinsey, brought together more than 450 young adults like me, each with her/his own stories of victory and difficulties. This was a milestone of which I am proud to be a part, especially as a new hire; it opened a path for me and many young Afro–descendants from all over Brazil.
