Let’s have an honest conversation regarding why Black women are consistently paid less than our white male counterparts, how unequal pay continues to perpetuate the wealth gap, and why doing the right thing will benefit everyone, including Corporate America. Dr. Yazeed will create a safe space for Black women to share their thoughts of how unequal pay impacts them, while leaders will walk away with recommendations for how they can begin to close this racial/gender wealth gap.
Intersectionality has become the new buzzword that is being used as a weapon, instead of the multidimensional framework that describes the complexities that make each of us unique. Coupled with the fear of cancel culture, when aspiring to move into management we find ourselves at a crossroads • the intersection of trying to hide our differences, hoping to blend in and gain access into the upper echelons of the c-suite, while seeing life through a multifaceted lens. Dr. Carey Yazeed will discuss why Corporate America needs you to interrupt the status quo by showing up as your authentic self, and the five steps needed to become an intersectional leader.
Every morning, Black women suit up in their protective emotional armor in preparation to dodge the barrage of negative assumptions the day will inevitably bring. What will she be labeled today • the angry Black woman, the aggressive Black woman, the problematic Black woman? When we talk about inequality as it relates to Black women, the conversation is often limited to discussions of unequal pay and the lack of financial resources. Has anyone stopped and considered that inequality also extends to the unfair treatment of Black women in the workplace? Dr. Yazeed will share the emotional barriers Black women often face in the workplace, how leaders can support the professional growth of Black women, and what Black women can do to begin to thrive.
