Robert Frost penned a famous poem entitled “The Road Not Taken.” In its opening lines, he wrote, “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, / And sorry I could not travel both.” This sentiment describes the complexity of determining what one would consider the best and correct path for their future. Is it the more popular route marked by traditional pathways and methods for navigating? Or is it the less-common experience that requires more intuition and patience? Previously, the definition of success was based on certain outcomes — particularly in how people navigate their career journey. Today, definitions are more nuanced based on experience and expectations. T. Rowe Price, a global investment firm, understands that creating spaces for continued development and career success is not an act of fate. It takes introspection, dedicated resources and programming to ensure team members feel equipped to tackle their goals. AfroTech had the chance to learn the value of success from three T....
In basketball, to avoid the penalty of traveling, the player must learn the art of the pivot. The ability to assess what’s best in the moment and re-prioritize the next moves for maximum benefit is something people must learn in life as well. Much of the world has experience with the concept because of the complexities of COVID-19. The ability to pivot has become even more critical to corporate spaces as employees navigate what’s best for them, their families, and their future. AfroTech had the opportunity to speak with Jasmine Brennan about how she mastered re-prioritization during the pandemic.

Navigating the workforce is an ever-evolving process. Some of the traditional methods of searching, applying and securing a job are much more nuanced today than they’ve ever been. With the pandemic forcing people to slow down and evaluate what it means to preserve their mental health, job seekers are more particular about schedule, flexibility, salary, and cultural fit. In the words of Fat Joe, “Today’s price is not yesterday’s price.” Employers have had to adjust to this change as well. Companies all around the world are looking at new approaches to recruiting and retaining talent. While the results of the Great Resignation have been the catalyst for the shifting dynamics in the workforce, many employees at companies like T. Rowe Price have mastered the ability to pivot. AfroTech had the privilege to learn in-depth interview tips from Thomas Byrd (Cyber Security Senior Manager), Engelia Tucker (Sr. Talent Acquisition Specialist), and Douglas Gilmore (Sr. Cyber Security...
There are a few things Black people do not play about: faith, family, food and finances. Money is the currency that allows one to make transactions, and it’s a means for wealth. The O’Jays told Grandma and Auntie that money can be a real problem if not used properly, while Cardi B is encouraging the new generation to make sure they go after the bag. Wherever you fall on the spectrum of collecting coins, money isn’t the only means to success and wealth. Time is currency. Education is currency. But what is one of the other most notable means for wealth? Relationships. History has proven that the power of collaboration can take any concept from mere idea to paradigm-shifting movement. T. Rowe Price is replicating this by leveraging the power of connectivity to impact community. T. Rowe Price is showing up for Baltimore in a big way with its long-standing relationship with Baltimore Corps .

The year is 2016, and behind a syncopated instrumental, you hear the clarion call: “Who run the world?” And the emphatic answer is “Girls!” Fast forward five years, and the answer remains the same. While they’ve been killing the game for centuries on end, there’s still room for more women to have a seat at the table. And the tides are changing, one chair at a time. T. Rowe Price shares the same sentiment through its commitment to gender equality. But how does an organization truly advocate for equity? The global investment firm understands that creating spaces for inclusion is not an act of happenstance. It takes introspection, dedicated resources and programming to ensure equal access to a seat at the decision-making table. This commitment to inclusion is made evident by the thriving careers of T. Rowe Price’s associates. Recently, AfroTech sat down with Teresa Woodard, Head of Trading Analytics, and Shonyel Lyons, Head of Client Experience, Americas, to discuss their impact on the...
