Here’s some key takeaways from this episode: 

Women of colour don’t always have the privilege to just lean in

“what is it like for me to be a woman of color and a black woman in the workplace trying to lean in when my manager doesn’t even see me as a viable winner”

This book isn’t just for women of colour

“ when I read the book, I didn’t feel like an outsider. There were things that resonated with me, things that I know personally, things I know from my research, things I’ve heard about, but I didn’t feel alienated.”

Securing a seat is about equity, voice and legacy

“it’s not just about the furniture, it’s about the equity. Because a lot of people are building tables with no chairs for us and so once you get that seat I hope that you take it like a badge of honor”
