The Continental IDEA

Having worked at Continental Properties for 5 years, I have grown both personally and professionally in an environment that truly lets me bring my authentic self to work each day. A testament to the leadership that I have had the privilege to work under the last half-decade, I strongly believe in the work that I am doing and the commitment of Continental to each and every employee, regardless of background.  The opportunity to be a part of the Continental IDEA as a member of the LGBT community has been a career highlight for me and I’m excited to see others flourish in their career at Continental while celebrating who they are.

“A lot of different flowers make a bouquet”, is a Chinese proverb that resonates with me. As an emigrant of Jamaica, the desire to fit in and adapt to a disparate world brought challenges and obstacles that were foreign experiences. After learning the purpose and drive behind the Continental IDEA, I’m honored to be a part of a group of diverse allies that has an aperture to welcome the odd and not just the alike. Continental has won me over, yet again, by supporting such an empowering initiative that is necessary for DIB; diversity, inclusion, and belongingness.
