That\u2019s what happened to award-winning entrepreneur, author and speaker Jennifer Brown. As a young girl, Jennifer dreamed of becoming a professional opera singer. In her 20s, she moved to New York City to pursue a Master\u2019s in Voice from the Manhattan School of Music. She was on the road to stardom when her dream was suddenly interrupted by vocal cord injury. After several surgeries, it became clear Jennifer would never sing again professionally. \u201cThe writing was on the wall and I knew I had to reinvent (myself),\u201d she said. In today\u2019s episode, Jennifer talks about her journey from singing and performing to becoming among the world\u2019s leading experts on diversity and inclusion. As an openly gay professional, Jennifer consults with Fortune 500 companies on how to build more inclusive workplaces which allow all kinds of talent to feel welcomed, valued, respected, and heard.
