    Breaking Barriers: A Conversation With Denise Jordan

    Growing up in Washington Heights, New York, Denise Jordan loved exploring the big city by foot. As a pedestrian, she could take in the sights, sounds and flavors of the city's multicultural neighborhoods.   She tells us about working in her family's candy store, and hanging out at her aunts' dress shop that catered to the stars of Carnegie Hall.  Once a professional tennis player, a singer in New York City nightclubs and guitarist, Denise's journey to the C-suite had its glorious moments and challenges.   In this podcast, Denise and the co-hosts chat about food, then dive into more serious banter about barriers to civil rights.  Denise shares about an intense experience she had in 1999, when she was a candidate for an executive position, making her the first African American woman to get hired for the role at the United States Tennis Association.  "I want to challenge you to think...differently."  Today, Denise Jordan is the Executive Director of Deerfield Beach Chamber of Commerce. Expect heartfelt banter, snippets of pivotal life and career lessons, and tips for professionals who want to speak up about civil unrest and incivility.
