KEY TAKEAWAYS:

1. Often when individuals speak up on issues in workspaces, it allows others to feel empowered to speak as well.

2. Keep a researcher’s perspective to give a voice to the voiceless, empower yourself to question and be curious of all lens’s in this field.

3. There is value in having an open pay discussion and know what your counterparts are earning. It allows you to know your worth and stand by it.

4. It's imperative to site other's work, as many Black and Brown women are dealing with theft of intellectual property.

5. Understand you are different because you are bringing frustrations from generational and systemic racism that were never addressed.

6. It is important to document your experiences at work no matter how small, because when things steam roll into something greater, you can back up your claims.

7. Most corporations focus on the numbers and forget about the people. Behavioral scientists provide data that represent the voices of the employees, especially those on the frontline.

8. Change management often means we have to come in and change the mindsets of leadership first. The disconnect happens when leadership never talks to those workers in the frontline positions.

9. Imposter syndrome is common with people of color, partly due to how much Black and Brown women have been gaslighted in their workplace. Learn to reclaim your voice and reclaim your power.
