Rewriting the Rules: Build a Career Without Losing Yourself

Join Founder of Storia, Elizabeth Uviebinené, in conversation with Thandi Maqubela, lawyer, content creator, and style maven, for a candid conversation on how to rise without shrinking.
Thandi has built a successful corporate career while growing her content career. From navigating bias to using personal style as a way to own your space, Thandi shares the habits, mindsets, and boundaries that have kept her ambitious and authentic at every stage of her career.

It’s a blueprint for building a career that actually feels like yours.
What you’ll walk away with:
Three non-negotiable rules for protecting your ambition and identity in any room
How to turn authenticity into your advantage
