DariaBurkeHow does someone with a degree in English end up pursuing an MBA at NYU Stern? Why attend a program famous for its ties to Wall St. when you’re interested in marketing? And why abandon the glamorous world of beauty and luxury marketing for the world of start-ups and social enterprise?

00:16:10 – How Black MBA Women came to be (answer: by mistake).
