I&#8217;m 27 years old. I am Canadian-born Haitian and I am part of the 2020 MBA cohort from ESMT Berlin.<br><br>I chose to study at ESMT because I wanted a career change and I also wanted to move to Berlin and ESMT was the best business school that I found in Berlin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I chose to do the Responsible Leaders Fellowship because of the opportunity to make a positive social impact. I love business and I&#8217;m very excited to have completed my MBA. However, sometimes when I think about the impact of capitalism on society, I kind of feel like part of the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So this was an opportunity for me to delay my job search and contribute to a cause that&#8217;s very near and dear to my heart. My project takes place on-site in Nairobi, Kenya. For my project,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ll be assisting an NGO in its first year of operations. Its mission is to create a safe space for survivors of gender-based violence and empower them.<br><br>My job involves helping develop the program in more detail, establishing a sustainable business plan followed by implementation in a couple of months. I chose to do this project specifically because it&#8217;s always been important for me to be involved in female empowerment. The founder mentioned her personal attachment to the cause and said she was overwhelmed with the process. So I jumped at the opportunity to offer my<br>services to her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mission is something that&#8217;s very important to me and I know that I can actually make an impact with this organization. Also, as a black woman, I know the importance of representation for young black girls. It was important for me to be here on-site in Kenya, sharing my story as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I want to join the founder in empowering and inspiring the next generation of young black women. If I can impact even one person&#8217;s life in a positive manner, then I will be happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I hope to bring to this project is to just alleviate some of the pressure from the founder. The project, like I said, is very personal to her and I want to help make her dreams come true. So I hope to provide the organization with a sustainable plan that they can use for years to come for growth and just to be sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My biggest fear, I think, is that I won&#8217;t be able to help as much as I would like to, however, what I&#8217;m most looking forward to is working with the girls and hopefully becoming a positive part of their stories. I know it will be difficult. I know I&#8217;ll have to hear a lot of tough stories, but I just hope to help alleviate just a little bit of the pain somehow, some way. And I really also look forward to seeing firsthand what kind of impact we could have.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p><span class=\"rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\"><\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\">2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">min read<\/span><\/span> Beverly Dodard-Guillaume talks about why she chose to do the Responsible Leaders Fellowship and what motivated her to work with the Huru Foundation, a new <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.esmt.berlin\/voices\/responsible-leaders-fellowship-diary-beverlys-goals\/\" title=\"Responsible Leaders Fellowship diary \u2013 Beverly&#8217;s goals\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15919,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[258,788],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[1283],"class_list":["post-15911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mba","category-responsible-leaders-fellowship"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Responsible Leaders Fellowship diary \u2013 Beverly&#039;s goals | ESMT Berlin Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Beverlys talks about her journey as she pursues her goals in responsible leadership.
