Yulkendy Valdez is a tech entrepreneur, social justice advocate, and public speaker but in this episode, we’re asking who she was before. As the Co-Founder and CEO of Forefront, Yulkendy helps employers, schools and youth non-for-profits prepare for the next generation of workforce but it was what she witnessed as a child in the Dominican Republic that pushed her to break the box society confined her in. In today’s episode, Yulkendy discusses her experience with cultural identity as a child, how to find your brand and how Forefront is challenging cultural bias in the workforce.
