Hi, I’m Tamika L. Brooks, MSM, PMP, and I know firsthand what it’s like to feel trapped in a job that looks great on paper but leaves you feeling undervalued and unfulfilled. For years, I built a career in IT Project Management, leading complex initiatives, solving problems, and driving results—yet, despite my credentials and expertise, I found myself in spaces where my contributions weren’t fully recognized. I kept trying to “fix” things, hoping that my hard work would eventually earn me the professional respect I deserved. But deep down, I knew I was meant for more. 

That realization led to the rebirth of Pivot Noire, a platform dedicated to helping professionals like you rediscover the value of your skills, pivot into leadership roles, explore new industries, and tap into the entrepreneurial genius within—without starting over. I want to show you that your expertise is not limited to your current title or employer. 

You have options, and the Career Pivot Playbook is your first step toward reclaiming your career on your terms. This will be your step-by-step guide to transitioning without starting over. Whether you’re seeking career growth, industry change, or an additional income stream, this resource will help you leverage what you already know to create new opportunities.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a role that no longer serves you, unsure of your next move, or hesitant to pivot because of fear or uncertainty, you’re in the right place. Your genius is enough. Now, let’s pivot.
