80. Creating Your Own Career Path

What Rules!?: A career podcast for women of color

When others see potential in you and offer you opportunities, take them even when you’re scared. It’s paid off for Cartier exec Erica Lovett.

At age 32, Erica is the first DE&I leader at Cartier, the global luxury jewelry company. She shares how she’s followed her instinct to create her own career path to become the Head of Diversity & Inclusion at Cartier North America.

Erica encourages all women to show up as themselves in the workplace. “I’ve learned that no matter how old you are, no matter how much experience you have or don’t have,” says Erica, who’s Black American, “you still have a right to be in the room and share what’s on your mind.”
