From the Experts: Valerie Rainford, Former Head of JPMorgan Chase’s Advancing Black Leaders and founder of Elloree

FROM THE EXPERTS: VALERIE RAINFORD, FOUNDER OF ELLOREE AND FORMER HEAD OF JPMORGAN CHASE'S ADVANCING BLACK LEADERS

Until Better Tomorrow, Valerie Rainford's person memoir is like a movie: the female heroin beats all odds and at the end has the best of both worlds. 

Valerie, born to southern sharecroppers, rises up to be the most senior black female officer at the Federal Reserve Bank to Head of JPMorgan Chase's Advancing Black Leaders and now has her own company Elloree, advising Fortune 500 CEOs on diverse talent. 

Her life was not easy but when faced with tragedies like her mother and brother's suicide and other difficulties in her life, she got up and ran twice, three times as fast.  Her belief that anything is possible if one has enough faith, tenacity, and faith is truly inspiring.  

I am so honored to share her stories with SantM audience.

Enjoy,
