Welcome to Brazen Careerist!

About Me

I'm a new blogger and "social media" fan. I'm inspired every day by so many Gen Y professionals and the way they're taking this social media thing to a whole new level.

By day i am a fundraiser here in Chicago and after hours I'm a night crawler. I was just promoted to my position and am really excited to weave in all the wonderful thoughts and ideas that exist through forums like Brazen Careerist and Twitter. Chicago offers a lot of events and networking opportunities for young professionals. In 2010, i'd like to bring Chicago's "young professional" scene to the forefront. I'm not sure how, but im starting with a blog that will highlight some of the cool places, things, and events happening around the city. I'm also an active member of MetroBoard- a young professionals volunteer organization and Chicago's greatest service-oriented organization in the city (in my opinion).

By birth I am Nigerian (and proud of it) and i was born a new england girl. My passion is my community, social justice and learning about different cultures. I hope to one day become a foreign service officer (i failed the test last october but i will be taking it again). All in all, I'm a really happy, curious, energetic, fun, loving, awesome, and adventersome woman.
