At just 11 years old, Dr. Nadja Fidelia’s father told her: “The worst thing to be is born Black, and even worse, a Black woman.”
In this unfiltered, deeply powerful interview, Dr. Fidelia shares how those words shaped her journey to becoming one of the top Black executives on Wall Street. She unpacks the emotional and strategic choices that helped her climb the ranks in a world dominated by white men, without losing her soul.
Learn from one of Victoria Jenn’s longest mentors and how she not only changed the game for women of color on Wall Street, but also shaped the woman Victoria Jenn is today.
In this episode:
- Why Dr. Fidelia chose to emulate white male leaders to "get in the room"
- What every woman should wear on the trading floor, even if she’s not married
- How looking like a million can actually get you a million
- Balancing love and ambition
- Why Dr. Fidelia told Barack Obama he’d be president before he knew it
- How faith helped Dr. Fidelia reclaim her identity after 20 years of masking it
