Why Choose Us
Choosing Us for Your Listening Pleasure
If you’ve attended entrepreneur and/or professional development workshops or conferences but still come away feeling as if there were things missing related to your personal and professional experiences this is the podcast for you. We center women of color in discussions about navigating the workplace, building careers, across multiple industries and ways to succeed and deal with challenges and systemic biases while doing so.
Since 2020 in particular there has been a lot of talk especially in the last few years about the experience of women of color at work and in society. Women of color are:
only 6% of C suite leadership in America’s largest companies.
They are 9.2% of the Members of Congress.
The gender wage gap is even wider for women of color than it is for white women.
Multiple studies have indicated that the obstacles women of color face in the workplace like limited access to mentors, exclusion from elite networks, and wage gaps often push us to find alternatives to the traditional workforce like entrepreneurship.
