2022 is here and we are ready to break through the taboo topics plaguing women striving for excellence. Women have fought long and hard for equal rights since the 1940s. Women are now leading in the boardroom, the household, and in business. Despite the appearance of women in male dominating industries, equality, compensation, and respect are still lacking. Social scientists have explored the concept of the "Glass-Ceiling" for two decades yet it is definitely NOT shattered. It's simply cracked.

Join Anika and her panelists for an in-depth roundtable discussion regarding "Glass- Breaking Women" :

“We are not born women of color. We become women of color. In order to become women of color, we would need to become fluent in each others’ histories, to resist and unlearn an impulse to claim first oppression, most-devastating oppression, one-of-a-kind oppression, defying comparison oppression. We would have to unlearn an impulse that allows mythologies about each other to replace knowing about one another. We would need to cultivate a way of knowing in which we direct our social, cultural, psychic, and spiritually marked attention on each other. We cannot afford to cease yearning for each others’ company.”― M. Jacqui Alexander, Pedagogies of Crossing: Meditations on Feminism, Sexual Politics, Memory, and the Sacred

Women are a dominating force, that is tested with resistance at every turn. This power panel features leading women from around the world discussing the stereotypes, challenges, and opportunities faced by women of color. Women of color comprise 20.3% of the United States population. Despite the population changes in the US, US workplaces struggle to retain women of color professionals. Women of Color have a greater wage gap, are disproportionally represented in low-wage and essential jobs, yet 5.4 million firms are majority-owned by women of color in the US., employing 2.1 million people generating $361 billion in revenues annually.

To discuss the disparities and answer the following questions:

Why does diversity matter?

What is the responsibility of leadership as a woman of color?

Why is the world intimidated by strong women of color?

What legacy do you want to leave?
