Golnaz Golnaraghi: Why Career Programs Fail Racialized Women

Many companies champion mentorship programs and leadership initiatives that promise to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. But too often, these efforts fall short of meaningfully supporting their racialized women employees.

Golnaz Golnaraghi, founder of Accelerate Her Future, a career accelerator for Black, Indigenous, and racialized women in business and STEM, emphasizes the value of investing in sponsorship over mentorship and redefining what it means to be an ally in the workplace.

Golnaraghi spoke at The Walrus Talks Advancing Work, in Toronto, on November 29, 2022.
