From studying film out of curiosity to volunteering in the Peace Corps for adventure, from exploring roles in non-profit services for personal growth to launching a business out of love, Mel Campbell's journey has been anything but ordinary. 🎥✈️💼❤️

Born to immigrant parents from Barbados and Trinidad & Tobago, Mel has always embraced the full spectrum of their identity, living loudly and proudly in the color and frequency of who they are. As someone who is neurodivergent and q***r, Mel has navigated life and career paths that are as unique and dynamic as they are. 🏳️‍🌈

Mel believes, as their mentor once said, that "the best healing happens while in community with others." At Accenture, they find the space to be their truest self--to be human, to have compassion, to release perfection--and contribute to a workplace where diversity is not just accepted but celebrated. 🌈🙌

Mel's story is a testament to the beauty of embracing every part of ourselves and the transformative power of community.

The quote is attributed to Mel Campbell, an Accenture Associate Manager in the United States who says, "To me, q***rness is a connection that creates expansion of self, authenticity, and new experiences to grow. Pride is a form of gratitude I feel whenever I witness q***rness being expressed freely." On the right side is the photo of a person smiling in front of a background of yellow daffodils.]

Gloria Salas is an advocate for girls in tech and empowering women to be without limits. Through Girls Who Code, she discovered her passion for technology and kick-started her career in computer science. Now, as an Accenture employee, she pays it forward by mentoring younger alumni and creating an inclusive space for women and non-binary people in tech.

Gloria says, "Girls Who Code gave me the opportunity to say technology was a career path I wanted, and it impacted everything. GWC is special because it engages with girls at a younger age by interacting with students when they are questioning what to do career wise."

Millaj Jallim is a U.S. Navy veteran. She joined the Navy in 2010 and was a hospital corpsman specializing in surgical technologies the whole of her 12-year military career. A short time into her transition from military to civilian life, Millaj found her job opportunity with Accenture through Foundation for Women Warriors. She started her Accenture career in 2021 through the Women Veterans Impact Hiring initiative.

Millaj shares how she continues to be without limits, "I found myself connecting with a lot of like-minded individuals, those who are purpose driven and value a sense of community. The connections I made through the Military ERG and Military Spouse ERG, really helped me find the sense of community and belonging that I needed and helped me through the transition process."
