“ . . . hearing [George Floyd’s] name was infuriating in the beginning . . . It felt like defeat . . . But as I have seen the country mobilize around these people [like Breonna Taylor] it has signaled hope for me. It has also signaled change and optimism.” Checkout my latest podcast interview with Yolanda Murphy, Sector Vice President of Communications at Northrop Grumman.

During the interview, Yolanda talks about racism she faced at a very young age, how overt racism can be, how biases enter and impact the workplace, her thoughts on imposter syndrome, and many other very deep and profound personal views.
