Hey Black Law Girlies! Why don’t we have a connection? How do we get to know one another and network with other other black female lawyers? How can we get this started and we should do a conference every year! Who with me?!?

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
