Today, on World Day for Cultural Diversity, we highlight the incredible journey of independent contractor agent Makeda Nichols, who has been with State Farm for 40 years! Born in Ethiopia and raised in a multilingual environment, she is no stranger to achievement. Her father was a doctor for the Ethiopian Army and her mother ran a successful farm. Makeda attended a German boarding school in Ethiopia, then moved to Germany where she studied chemistry. After moving to the U.S., she met a State Farm agent who shared fascinating stories about his work experiences. This sparked something in Makeda and, when presented with the opportunity, she decided to make a career change and become a State Farm agent. "Looking back, it was definitely worth it. Even after 40 years, I still thoroughly enjoy my career. The best part of my career is the ability to make a real difference in people's lives. Being self-employed comes with its fair share of challenges, such as managing staff and adapting to changes. However, one positive aspect of change is that it keeps you young." Makeda’s all-women team brings a diverse lens with various backgrounds. Collectively, the office speaks Croatian, Latvian, German, Spanish and French, and assists a broad range of customers within the port city Mobile, AL area. Makeda's incredible journey with State Farm speaks to her commitment, resilience, and dedication – inspiring us all to reach for the stars and create a lasting impact.

For State Farm Agent Ronald Wang, all it took was seeing a "seeking CEO-minded individuals with unlimited earning potential" LinkedIn post. Intrigued, he decided to look more into the agent opportunity and hasn't looked back since.   "This past December, we celebrated our five-year anniversary, and becoming a State Farm agent has truly been a fulfilling, rewarding, and competitive experience for me. Not only do I have the opportunity to be part of and give back to the community I grew up in, but everything about this career seemed tailor-made for me, making it the best chapter in my professional career so far. My team inspires me to be the best leader I can be, and I enjoy watching them develop both personally and professionally."   Ronald's ability to balance business ownership and parenthood was another reason he has found the State Farm agent opportunity fulfilling and rewarding.    "In Asian culture, family holds top priority. When my son, RJ aka Xiao Bao (little treasure) was born, I found myself unable to spend time with him due to my prior career obligations. It was important for me to be a bigger part of his childhood, and that has come into fruition in so many ways today. I’m always a phone call away from the office or from home, and I carry this family-like philosophy into my business. I take pride in understanding and addressing the diverse needs of our community, striving to exceed expectations with empathy, professionalism and remarkable service."
