"Being a Detrioter - There’s no other place in the world that breeds these type of people, with the tenacity to overcome so much."
Dr. Tiffany Ingram is so firmly rooted in her family's history, it's no surprise that she has blossomed and continues to shine as bright as she does. Coming from Detroit, Michigan, she is no stranger to hard work (and fashion!). At several points in her life she tenaciously took chances on building a new life for herself. With that same spirit she has received her PhD in Educational Leadership and Management; providing technical training to special education and diversity equity and inclusion leaders. She has also created her own platform powerful"Policy & Fashion" to share career and fashion advice to women.
"I believe education is one of the most important factors that can change life outcomes for people."
In our conversation we explore - why she loves doing "the most," her love for education, creating a space for plus sized professional women to thrive and what her doctorate research said about career advancement for African-American women.
"I always wanted to create this space for people like me - plus sized women. Helping us be more authentic and courageous at work. Yes, you can be a young, black, curvy woman that looks amazing and excels at your job!"
