Cayce Hamilton is a hustler, an MBA holder, a stereotype defier, a former soccer star, and she’s currently the Corporate Group Sales Manager at Marriott.
In this episode, you’ll hear her share her story of growing up in a strict Catholic household and coming out as a gay woman, what it was like growing up in that structure from K-12th grade, the identity shifts that she’s dealt with, and what that conversation was like with her parents.
After that, we discuss the generational acceptance of gay people and how it’s improved over time, then we jump into her career and some of the moves she’s made.
Following some time spent on Capital Hill, we talk about how she obtained her Master’s Degree from Georgia State University, and how she was seven weeks away from reporting to Quantico, Virginia to work with the FBI when she decided it was all too familiar of a structure and chose to forgo that opportunity.
Cayce shares what helped her heal and cope with feelings of identity, being who she wanted to be, who some of her mentors are, a movie that changed her life, and finally, we wrap things up with her realest talk.
