Power & Purpose - The Story behind Build Your Power

In this special solo episode, Beverly steps behind the microphone to share the story, purpose and vision behind Build Your Power—the free digital careers magazine created to expand the impact of Career Sistas. Reflecting on one year of community building through the book Build Your Table and the Stories by Career Sisters podcast, she explains why the magazine is the natural next step in widening access to career tools, inspiration and representation. Drawing on insights from nearly 50 podcast conversations, Beverly explores the recurring themes that have shaped the magazine’s direction—community, intentionality and purpose. As she notes, the magazine is designed to “reach women, reach people of colour… anybody who’s going to find that career advice, tools, resources, useful.” Listeners will hear how Build Your Power brings together career development, entrepreneurship, directories, resources and celebration of everyday role models to create a platform where underrepresented professionals can see themselves reflected. Beverly also shares what she’s most proud of so far “just getting issue one done” and why experimentation, feedback and evolution are central to the journey. This episode offers a thoughtful, personal look at the mission behind the magazine and the broader ecosystem Career Sistas is building: a space for learning, amplification, connection and collective empowerment.
