Kimberly Ellison-Taylor is an advocate for inclusive leadership, and what it means to create an equitable workplace environment. It's not as simple as giving everyone the same opportunity — you need to meet people where they're at. We are, unfortunately, not all created equal.

The first Black woman and the youngest person to act as chairperson of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, on top of a career including roles at NASA, KPMG, and Motorola, Kimberly Ellison-Taylor is a pioneer.

On #BlackLivesMatter, Ellison-Taylor doesn't care if your business is buying into it for commercial purposes: Net net, if you are creating opportunities for people of color who would not have them otherwise, it's a move in the right direction, she explains.

Listen as Ellison-Taylor talks about diversity in the workplace, being a woman in a man's world, structuring your business so diversity is not only doable but also scalable, and having to work twice as hard to get half the credit on this episode of SheVentures.
