  • Decoding the Subtext: Tight Rope w. Victoria Walters
    Being a woman in corporate spaces isn’t great and research shows that women from marginalized identity groups have exponentially worse experiences - no matter the region, industry, or function.  It's important those in the dominant group take the time to listen to our experiences, accept that they’re real, and fix it. It won’t happen overnight, but we have to stop trying to fix the people and fix broken cultures, processes, and institutions that uphold the “isms”.
    On this episode, our guest, Victoria Walters, M.A. shares her experiences and hacks she's leveraged to navigate. She even drops some ways "majoritized" folks can help, along with some light reading noted below.
    Layla F. Saad’s ‘Me and White Supremacy’ 
    Robin DiAngelo’s ‘White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism.’ 
    Ijeoma Oluo’s ‘So You Want to Talk About Race’ 
    'Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower' 
    'An African American and Latinx History of the United States' by Paul Ortiz
