- How many (if any) people of color they know in upper leadership 

- Why we need (or don't need) more black people in places of leadership 

- What we are doing to make it where the next generation sees more of us in leadership positions

The topics touched in Part Two include being your authentic self (or not) in the workplace, potentially downplaying who you are and what you like in order to relate to coworkers, whether or not looks play in role in how quickly one can climb the ladder and if black and brown people are promoted at lower rates.   Please tune in and let me know in the comments, your thoughts and own experiences in the workplace.
