Our STORIES

Navigating First-Gen Professionalism

Workshop hosted through Chicas Connect PD Series with Chica Project. 8/21/25— La Fabrica, Cambridge, MA

Healing happens when we step into our power, and that includes the professional spaces we occupy.

We explored: Setting Personal Policies, Self-Care Strategies to Prevent Burnout, & Shared Reflective Space.

“Following my 3-3-3 plan daily has been a major breakthrough! Staying consistent with it has fueled real growth, sharpened my focus, and opened up new opportunities I hadn’t anticipated.”

- Lizzie | Participant

“Desiree was wonderful! The workshop reminded me that self-care isn’t something extra; it’s essential to creating real balance between work and life. I left with practical tips I can start using right away.”
