There Are No Failures Only Redirection - Crystal Ellington

Crystal Ellington (she/her) is the Communications Director for Minority Veterans of America, an organization aiming to change the narrative of the American Veteran by providing community, advocacy and policy change for LGBTQ+ veterans, womxn veterans, vets of color, and veterans of (non) religious minorities. 

In her current role, Crystal has utilized her lived experience as a minority veteran to open dialogue around the various intersections that many veterans and servicemembers find themselves in. 

Prior to Minority Vets, Crystal was a combat veteran, serving a tour in Iraq in 2019. She retired from her Army service as a Special Operations helicopter mechanic in 2021. 

We discuss;

- How she pivoted on leaving the military
- Discovering that her passion wasn't her passion
- Realizing that more qualifications aren't always the answer
- Overcoming impostor syndrome
- Embracing the fear of career change.
