Pabel and I discuss the intricacies of what defined as "professional" and how we can redefine that to include ALL people.

BIO:
Pabel Martinez Global Account Director at TikTok
Pabel's superpower is uncovering the story behind the numbers; translating data to stories. He's been able to flex this skill at various technology companies such as Facebook (previous employer) and TikTok (current employer). Although he's been successful, he has met challenges along the way.
Like many POC, he's experienced imposter's syndrome, microaggressions, and racism. He would often REPRESS parts of his identity inside & outside of work work in an effort to feel more included and less judged.
Pabel's mission in life became redefining professionalism for Latinx communities by empowering authenticity. In 2020, he launched Plurawl to bring this mission to life.
