The struggles of women in the workforce are real and many, and race adds yet another layer of complexity to that struggle. Discrimination against women of color in the workforce can often be subtle, causing those on the receiving end to feel invalidated and invisible. In this episode we discuss the reality of what it's like to be a woman in the workforce from the distinct perspectives of race. Whether it's being labeled "the angry black woman" or being expected to smile and make everyone in the room feel comfortable, the barriers that exist can often leave women distrustful of one another. We talk about the importance of companies providing pay transparency and women amplifying one another's voices rather than pitting our pain against one another.
