Testimonials

  • “As African, African American and Afro-Caribbean professionals, we are often the last hired and first fired for many professional-related opportunities. The Onyx Truth is a great platform for professionals from our community to discuss and explore career avenues, advice, opportunities, and strategies to assist us in making better and more informed career decisions.”

    - JDF, General Counsel, former USAID Senior Executive Official and Diplomat

  • “I met Desy about a year ago, when she presented at a career webinar. I asked one question during the session, and that was all it took. From there, she became an incredible support to me in my job search: individual coaching, job leads sent my way, recommendations through her network, and regular check-ins just to see how I was doing. In the span of a year, Desy went from stranger to mentor, career strategist, and friend. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance, support, and expertise.”

    — Kyra Zogbekor, Ph.D., MSW

  • “As a community of Black professionals, we often navigate workplaces where our contributions go unseen and our advancement is uncertain. The Onyx Truth has become a trusted space where we can trade honest insights, find mentors who understand our journeys, and uncover opportunities we might never have heard about otherwise. It has helped me approach my career with far more clarity and confidence.”

    - MTR, Former Healthcare Policy Advisor

  • “I have spent years looking for a community that speaks openly about the real challenges of building a career as a person of African descent. The Onyx Truth delivers exactly that, with practical advice, honest conversations, and a network of professionals who genuinely want to see each other win. It is a resource I recommend to anyone ready to make bolder, better-informed career moves.”
