Episode 5: Create Your Own Party

Listen to this week's episode with Adrienne King as we discuss standing out when you’re the only one who looks like you in the room and the concept of “creating your own party.”

“I don’t believe in balance. Instead, I flex in & out of different spaces - putting my energy where I’m most needed at this time.”

These wise words come from this week’s guest, Adrienne King.

Adrienne has worked in the pharmaceutical industry for over 20 years and has proven leadership in Quality, External Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Employee Business Resource Group, Diversity Equity & Inclusion and Project Management. Adrienne is a transformative change leader and a voice for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at work and in her community. She serves on multiple DE&I Advisory Boards in her community, the Executive Community for the Bucks County NAACP and the African American Museum of Bucks County Foundation Board. She also led the effort to start the first ever DEI community of parents and educators in her daughter's elementary school. Adrienne holds a B.S. in Chemistry and an M.S. in Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs, as well as completing Leadership Programs at Duke and Cornell. She is the recipient of the Bucks County Community College 2023 Martin Luther King Jr Dream Builder Award. She lives in PA with her husband and 2 daughters, while also running a family business - So Fresh & So Green Juice Company - and running a nonprofit - The PairUP Society.

In this week’s episode, Adrienne and I discuss how to stand out when you’re the only one who looks like you in the room and she discusses the concept of “creating your own party.”

“I need to be authentically myself and you are either gonna love it or not. But I am who I am and that's who I'm going to show up as. And if who I'm showing up as. Isn't right for the table that you have. Then I'm going to move over here and open my own door, create my own table, and keep it moving”
