Unlocking the Club

When many think of golf, they think of Tiger Woods or The Masters. Some even think of the movie Happy Gilmore! However, when I thought of golf, I thought of many business opportunities coming to fruition. It is on the golf course where many deals have been brokered. I can tell you, golf is not only a game that I have come to fall in love with but I have also been enjoying brokering and finding those business opportunities. My hope, through this podcast, is to amplify these opportunities that other Black women must take advantage of as well.

For this reason, it is perfect that I am speaking to Shawntera Hardy and all of the opportunities she has created for herself from everything from being a Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development to staying at Sir Richard Branson's Island!

I invite you to join our conversation as Shawntera and I discuss:

• From activities to outcome

• Influencers

• Movement and change

• Impacting systems

• Economic Strategies

• Imposter syndrome

• Networking

• North Star

• Tech space

• Commitment to Growth

• B to B company

• Capital infusion

• Operating in crisis navigation

What happens when you have everything that you want in your job: the title, the results, the team. However, you feel that your work, time and efforts are consistently being challenged even when you are the highest ranking woman inside of the organization? That was me. My wellness was taking a toll because of these constant microaggressions. It made me feel exhausted and overwhelmed. Then, I found this episode's guest, Cheryl Burrell, who made me feel seen, heard and validated. Cheryl has a 28 year career in corporate America and now serves her purpose in guiding high-performers in accelerating their impact but doing so authentically!

This podcast and the concept of unlocking the club means so much to me! I get to speak to extraordinary people who share their journeys. In this episode, my guest is bringing all the aces and she knows plenty about them...volleyball aces that is. Please welcome to the podcast, Beverly Oden, one of my best friends who will be joining me as a cohost periodically!

Beverly not only was a middle blocker for the US women's volleyball team in the 1996 Summer Olympics, she is also a counselor, entrepreneur, author, journalist, and producer of Beyond the Glory. Beverly also played a pivotal part in creating The Oden Commission, which holds discussion of racial profiling between residents and law enforcement in Orange County, California. Oh...and she is followed by THE PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA ON TWITTER! I'm just saying!

In today's current climate, there are so many pressures. Pressures when it comes to our reproductive systems and the conversations the government is having about it. Pressure when it comes to the push to succeed. Pressures for black women reclaiming our space. With all of these pressures, we look to our ancestors and wonder how did they handle all of the atrocities they experienced and still have dignity and grace for their fellow man. My guest can speak on this perfectly. In this episode, I am so pleased to speak with Dr. Michele Goodwin. Dr. Michele Bratcher Goodwin is a global thought leader and advisor.  She is the host of the popular podcast, On the Issues with Michele Goodwin, at Ms. magazine. Her writings address pressing matters of law, society, and global health.   An award-winning author, her publications appear across five books and more than one hundred law review articles, book chapters, and commentaries. Her opinion editorials and commentaries can be found in the New York Times, LA Times, Salon.com, Politico, Forbes, the Christian Science Monitor and other platforms.  She is a frequent contributor to Ms. magazine. I invite you to join our conversation as Dr. Goodwin and I discuss:

Hey there! Welcome to the first taste of the Unlocking the Club podcast! This is the show in which Angela Taylor will be exploring the nuance and complexity experienced by Black women in their efforts to successfully navigate the systems and structures found in Corporate America and beyond with special attention to the unwritten rules that determine whether or not you are welcome into the club. You can expect to hear interviews with a multitude of intriguing guests from a myriad of backgrounds (CEOs, thought leaders, elite athletes, politicians, entertainers, entrepreneurs, and more), all with interesting stories to share, unique journeys to reminisce about, and invaluable insights about clubs that need to be unlocked.

We hope that as a result of the candor and truth shared during each of these conversations, listeners will find ways to reclaim their space, share their story and unlock their own truth so that we build more equitable clubs while discovering the spaces in which we truly want to belong. This will be a journey that is both cathartic and energizing. Thank you for tuning in…we look forward to continuing the conversation with you right here for our first full episode with an amazing guest.

Key Points from this Episode:

• The vision for unlocking the club to create a space for Black women to share their full selves
• The types of conversations we will have with guests about the systems and structures that marginalize Black women
• The “experience” we hope both our guests and our listeners will have as a result of these conversations
• The reality that the intentionality behind this decision is for the messages to also resonate with those in other identities and an opportunity for true allies to show up for Black women
• The inspiration behind Angela unlocking the concept for the show
