Life's Not Linear with Chaimie Pewitt

Chaimie Pewitt has lived a very non-linear life. Through the ups and downs, she has learned one very important thing: It's not about knowing the answer, it's about knowing how to find the answer. Chaimie grew up in an unstable environment, bouncing around foster homes. Getting her GED at 16, she then went to college and embarked on a 10-year journey of figuring out what she wanted to do before graduation. Chaimie is a strong advocate in neurodiversity, innovation, humanities, and tech. She learned at the age of 25 that she had ADHD and later on learned she has dyslexia. Instead of looking at these as disabilities, she looked at the environment around her, to figure out how our current workplaces can empower us instead of inhibiting us. Chaimie shares some great background as to how she got to where she is, how she helped foster two innovation economies, and more. Check out the interview to hear her story!
