I know LinkedIn is where we post accomplishments… but we need to normalize and celebrate the journey that got us to our newest milestone. In the summer of 2014, during my summer break from my graduate studies at University of Toronto - John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design,  I found myself working at a meat factory. Yes, you read that right! 🙂 I had tried to make inroads into the landscape architecture profession without success. Despite months of applying for a job… I found myself in the cold room packaging beef and pork for my 3 months summer break. I will not lie; it was a little demoralizing because I had run my own landscape design company for 14 years in Kenya before embarking on my studies in Canada. Nonetheless, I was happy to be earning some money. So, to encourage myself on June 13, 2014, I wrote in my prayer journal “God will make a way”. Last week on June 12, 2024, exactly 10 years less 1 day, to that journal entry I got a promotion to become a Senior Urban Designer and I also found myself standing in front of my colleagues in Urban Design and Toronto Design Review Panel, a team of eminent architects and landscape architects. Lol! Double for the trouble 😊…? But on a more serious note, we need to celebrate the journey…. and on that note, I will add my meat packaging experience to my profile, I can do that too 😊. #landscapearchitecture, #urbandesign, #careers, #urbanplanning, #africandiaspora
