In March, we discussed the alarming exodus of Black women from the workforce with economist, Katica Roy. In this episode we're going deeper into the lived experience behind those numbers. We're joined by Laura Knights, founder of Knights Consulting Group and creator of Black Woman Leading®, to discuss what she's learned from years of running leadership development programs for Black women, how to prioritize healing and mental wellness during unprecedented times, and the power of community and optimistic path forward Black women.
