How to follow up after a networking event, from the college students who did it best.

Eleven days ago I was at Running Start’s first Roadshow stop in Washington, DC, a networking reception for alums, fellows and women building careers in politics and public service.

This one was full circle for me.

I met Susannah and the Running Start team at AAUW’s NCCWSL conference in college, which led to their congressional fellowship, my first Hill internship and my first job on the Hill. That team is family, and this fall I’m proud to be working with them on the Roadshow itself.

The networking move I keep thinking about came from the fellows. A couple of days after the reception, handwritten cards showed up, along with LinkedIn messages, and a couple of them asked to meet.

If you’re early in your career, here’s what to copy after your next event:

1️⃣ Follow up within 48 hours, while you’re still memorable.
2️⃣ Say where you met, so they can place you instantly.
3️⃣ Mention one specific thing they said, which shows you were listening.
4️⃣ Ask for one small, clear next step, like a 15-minute call, an intro or an article they recommended. If it’s a meeting, come prepared.

And if you can, write the card. A handwritten note stands out in a world of DMs and AI.

Congratulations to @runningstart, Susannah, Jess and the whole team on an incredible first stop. If you’re a Running Start alum, the Roadshow is heading to more cities, so keep an eye out for yours.

My parents founded the Darrell Green Youth Life Foundation in 1988 when I was just two years old. Its history is woven into my childhood and it has always held a special place in my heart. When I was just starting my family, I told my dad that I wanted to be the director of the foundation and I had an idea for my first program. 10 years, and four babies later, it’s time to get to work.

Last night, I was formally announced as the new Managing Director of the Green Family Foundation and we introduced our newest program - Harper’s Hope. This program was inspired by my own experience as a mother when Harper was born six weeks early and spent a week in the NICU. It is my hope and prayer that we can love and support other parents, and their tiny precious babies, the way we were loved and supported. I know Giving Tuesday was yesterday, but please consider donating to help us launch this important initiative. You can give at the link in my bio or reach out directly to me.

Mama Glow Webinar: Advocating for Black Maternal Health: Leveraging Your Story & Engaging Stakeholders presented by @carolsdaughter

Monday, April 15th 2024 - 6:30 PM (EDT)

Held annually on April 11-17th, #BlackMaternalHealthWeek is a week-long campaign founded and led by the @blackmamasmatter Alliance to build awareness, activism, and community-building to amplify the voices, perspectives and lived experiences of Black Mamas and birthing people. This year’s theme is: Our Bodies STILL Belong to Us: Reproductive Justice Now.

Advancing Black Maternal Health is a collective endeavor that requires all of us to come together in support of Black birthing peoples’ needs. In celebration of Black Maternal Health Week, we are so excited to announce a new Maternal Health Advocacy Video Training Program developed in partnership with Carol’s Daughter to engage the community in maternal health advocacy.

Join us for a webinar where we bring together a handful of our maternal health experts featured in the series, to explore how we all can come to the table and use our voices to advocate for change.

The Maternal Health Advocacy Video Training Program powered by the Love Delivered Initiative, a collaborative effort between the Mama Glow Foundation and Carol’s Daughter that seeks to bring increased awareness to the Black maternal health crisis and shine a light on ways that Black birthing people and families can be empowered before, during and after birth.

In this webinar will address:
- How to leverage your position as key maternal health stakeholder
- How to take a multitiered approach to advocacy
- How to advocate for a birthing person’s needs in the hospital
- How to engage elected officials
- How to leverage your story for social change

We will be joined in conversation with the following panelists:
🌟Dr. Tia Jackson-Bey, MD, Fertility Specialist
🌟Natalia Louis, MPH, Program Manager, CONNECT Mental Health Program
🌟Mia Keeys, MA, Dr.P.H.(c), Director of Federal Affairs at Hologic
🌟Latham Thomas - Professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies, Founder of Mama Glow

Flashback to a week ago. What an honor it was to co-chair the 2023 Tin Cup Awards alongside my friend and colleague, Brandon Webb. Congratulations to each of the honorees, the slate was incredible.

To my friend, Marcus Mason, thank you for your vision, leadership and support and for entrusting Brandon and I with this task.

To Danielle and the entire WGRG team, thank you for the work that you do to ensure that African American lobbyists are seen and supported.

And to my co-chair, you made this process so amazing. We truly had a time and the evening couldn’t have been more perfect.

I am where I am today because of the men and women who paved the way, broke down barriers and lifted as they climbed.

In the immortal words of Howlie Davis, nearly 15 years ago “The Tin Cup Awards will become a seminal dinner in Washington.” I’m proud to have played a role in continuing the legacy.

2023. Easily one of the best years of my life. Simply too many amazing moments to capture in one post. I had some of the best times with some of the best people and I wish I could share them all. God not only bestowed endless blessings on my life, but on the lives of many of my loved ones. He showed up and showed out and I am so grateful.

These are just some of the many moments that made my heart smile and reminded me that God can do AMAZING things when you put your trust in him.

2020-2022 was HARD. But we all most go through periods of storms to get to better and brighter days.

This year I invested in myself. I set boundaries. I put away my phone when I was with friends. I traveled, A LOT. I told myself yes and others no. I pulled all-nighters and popped champagne in the country of former colonizers. I witnessed the birthing of nieces & nephews, celebrated milestone birthdays and job promotions, cried with my newly engaged best friend, watched friends become public servants, spent time with family, prayed more and more and more.

I worried less and lived more.

2023 literally owes me nothing.

1. 🇬🇩
2. Judge Katherine Thomas. The Trio.
3. 💍 Suprise engagement party for Iman
4. The GirLS 🩷💚
5. Lauryn Hill 25th Anniversary Concert with my sister
6. The Tin Cup Awards
7. Energy Day 1 family and all the memories we created this year.
8. The most epic trip to the South of France with the most random group of friends
9. California. Wine visits and friends who always make time when I come.
10. DC Memories with some of my DC family.

Yesterday we teamed up with the @TheBremFoundation to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month. HUGE thank you to our panelists and Dr. @RachelBrem for the important conversations on early detection of breast cancer, disparities in breast cancer, and how we can level the playing field.

Honored to serve as a co-chair of the 2023 Tin Cup Awards alongside my friend and colleague, Brandon Webb.

This is always a very special night for me because it honors the men and women who paved the way for myself and so many others to exist in the federal government & regulatory affairs space. Because of them, We Did.

Save the date for July 19th. It is going to be a night to remember.

Also - today’s #TBT is in honor of some of my favorite Tin Cup moments! #WGRG
