ABOUT THE AUTHOR
LaCoya LaShawn
Sometimes your path is easy to find.
For me, that was the case. My mom always told me, “Go to college and work for a good company.” That’s the right path for many people. And, if that’s you, I’m here for you. That’s why I built my recruiting company, McKinley and Co, and my non-profit, I-Impact. I support the Black community and help them build and grow successful careers.
While the college-to-corporate path is right for some, it wasn’t for me.
I did go to college and work in corporate America, but for me, it wasn’t exactly the American Dream. I experienced racism. I didn’t have control over my destiny, income, or life. I needed a different path.
That’s why I went off on my own and took control of my destiny.
As a personal note, my business would not exist without my supportive husband Ray. He keeps our lives running while I focus on supporting my customers.
