This week for Black History Month, we are celebrating one of our own Philadelphia Afro-Latina trailblazers in tech and entrepreneurship: Shannon Morales! She turned her dreams into reality with Tribaja.co. From envisioning herself as a business leader to becoming one, Morales's journey is a beacon of inspiration and resilience. 🌟
Shannon's story begins with a young girl's imagination, dreaming of luxury business suits and corporate success. This vision stayed with her through the challenges of being a single mother in college, steering her towards a career in finance to secure a future for her family. Despite not feeling passionate about finance, it was a stepping stone towards her true calling: entrepreneurship. 🚀
Founding Tribaja wasn't just about creating a business; it was about addressing a gap in the tech industry for Black and Latinx professionals. Tribaja, an AI-powered platform, is a testament to Shannon's dedication to uplifting underrepresented communities, offering customized work experiences that champion diversity and inclusion. 💡
Morales faced the universal uncertainties of entrepreneurship, learning through "fire" and pivoting with the market's tides. Yet, her resolve only strengthened, proving that there's never a perfect time to start—only the right time, which is now. Tribaja's focus on working-class professionals, particularly those affected by layoffs and automation, showcases Shannon's commitment to creating meaningful, lasting change. 🌐
Shannon's participation in digitalundivided’s Breakthrough program highlights the importance of community and shared knowledge. Her business motto, unwavering in the face of market saturation, is a powerful reminder to persevere, innovate, and stay true to one's vision. 🌱
Her advice to aspiring entrepreneurs? Be resilient. Embrace the journey, knowing your business will evolve with your users' needs. Shannon Morales isn't just building a business; she's crafting a movement towards a more inclusive, equitable tech industry. 🌈
As we honor Shannon Morales this month, let her story motivate us to break barriers, forge our paths, and create spaces where diversity thrives. Her impact through Tribaja is a testament to what Afro-Latinas can achieve in tech and beyond.
