Published: June 30, 2020, 1 p.m.

EPISODE 17 - Often times it\u2019s not just work that make upending your life hard\u2014it\u2019s everything that comes with it. Marianne Batacabe has dealt with a lot in the workplace as a woman of color: misogyny, sexual harassment, racism. Take your pick. But beyond it, she\u2019s also had to contend with a Japanese nuclear meltdown, the economic downturn of 2008\u2026and now, finding a way through COVID-19 at the epicenter.

\n

For some, those experiences would be crippling, but she\u2019s found a way to persevere beyond the financial industry to pursue a passion in interior design working for Cassina in New York City. We chat about her journey from the CBOT to SOHO, masks on airplanes, driving before we had our licenses, and a success story that proves that hard work really does pay off.
