In this episode, we talk about being intentional and strategic in the activities you choose to entangle yourself in outside your job responsibilities, at work. Some of the things you might need to consider and that we discuss are: Do you need to be involved in anything? What might the benefits be to your career or developing work relationships? Do they have to be serious pursuits? We chop all of that up, speak to any we've been involved in, and the best ways to measure the utility of your contribution.ConnectEmail: [email protected] and Instagram: @bwwpodcastuk, #bwwpodcastukWebsite: www.blackwomenworking.comNatalie- @mscarter_13Tols- @tolsabeniChantelle- @mscocolondonRachel- @rachnjk

In this episode, Natalie and Chantelle discuss the over-scrutiny of black women at work and the undermining of our achievements.Our conversation is fuelled by the current media commentary on American basketball player, Angel Reese. Sadly, the headlines have not focussed on her achievement of being named outstanding player on the tournament or the fact that this is the first time her team, the LSU Tigers won the tournament for the first time. Angel Reese has been topic of conversation, criticised for her conduct on the court, notably with a lack of comparison to her peers. As always, with Black women we stand and we want to remind everyone listening, like Angel, just keep being you.Let us know your thoughts and keep the conversation goingConnectEmail: [email protected] and Instagram: @bwwpodcastuk, #bwwpodcastukWebsite: www.blackwomenworking.comNatalie- @mscarter_13Tols- @tolsabeniChantelle- @mscocolondonRachel- @rachnjk
