Episode description

Many Black leaders find themselves being the “only one” in the c-suite, on boards, in meetings, at conferences, at strategic retreats. Black leaders often feel “Hoorah for me! and “Why just me?” all at the same time.  

There is an unconscious bias that exists in leadership and business culture, whether people want to admit it or not. Companies can have all the diversity and inclusion trainings they want, but that doesn’t change the fact that Black women and men are continually overlooked, isolated, discriminated against or tokenized. 

Join the next episode LEADERSHIP UNCENSORED as we explore what it’s like to simultaneously be invisible and hyper visible at work.
