But my hard work, loyalty, and dedication to my profession is not driven by the color of my skin; rather, by the passion that I feel for what I do.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>My dad was a NYC police officer and taught us discipline and strength. My mom, an entrepreneur, instilled in us a belief in spirituality and God. Both parents always taught me to give my best efforts to everything I do, from the smallest to the largest task\u2014dedicating and giving my whole self to doing my best. I\u2019ve carried that through my entire life.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Although I am thankful to my parents for instilling hard work and discipline in me, I wish that someone had taught me that no matter how hard you work, no matter how many times you say, \u2018yes\u2019 to take on additional work, no one is going to reward you unless you value yourself and ask for it.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mgocpa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Renee-BHM-2-1024x1024-1.webp 1024w,https:\/\/www.mgocpa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Renee-BHM-2-1024x1024-1-239x239.webp 239w,https:\/\/www.mgocpa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Renee-BHM-2-1024x1024-1-150x150.webp 150w,https:\/\/www.mgocpa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Renee-BHM-2-1024x1024-1-768x768.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.mgocpa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Renee-BHM-2-1024x1024-1.png\" height=\"1024\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mgocpa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Renee-BHM-2-1024x1024-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.mgocpa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Renee-BHM-2-1024x1024-1-239x239.png 239w, https:\/\/www.mgocpa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Renee-BHM-2-1024x1024-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.mgocpa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Renee-BHM-2-1024x1024-1-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-1370 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As we commemorate Black History Month, it&#8217;s a time for reflection, education, and celebration of the achievements and contributions of Black individuals throughout history.
