Out of the eight black CEOs in the Fortune 500, only two of them are black women. As black women ourselves who are eager to cheer on the next sista doing her thing, working for another black woman should be glorious. However, that's not always the case... but why? Shannon and KK discuss their traumatic experiences working for black women and their theories on why it's not always what you would think.
