Join Fabrik & PR Girl Manifesto / Fatou Barry for a workshop and conversation on one of the most underutilized assets in modern careers: community, viewed not just as connection, but as career capital.
Most opportunities don’t come from job boards. They come from people—specifically, people who mention your name in rooms you’re not in. In that way, your career isn’t just built on what you know, but on relationships, reputation, and proximity.
This session is about shifting how you think about community entirely: not as networking, but as something that actively shapes your career trajectory. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of your current ecosystem, its gaps, and how to create real opportunities without feeling transactional.
In a community setting, you’ll connect with fellow professionals, reflect on your own relationship to community, and explore how to build and leverage it in a way that feels aligned, generous, and effective.
Outcomes:
Map your network and identify key gaps
Reframe how you think about relationships and opportunities
Define your next strategic relationship move
Learn how to build visibility without being performative
Understand how career opportunities actually develop
Connect with peers in a more intentional way
