Episode Highlights

Getting to the Board Room

  • Make it known/share your interest that you want a seat at the table.

    • Do not wait until you’re fully confident to apply to serve. Take small steps to forward your goal.

    • Review your experience and skills. Use your curiosity to start conversations.

  • Make yourself “helpable” — be open to receiving help and asking for help.

    • You do not need to go at it alone and you cannot succeed without the help from others.

Uplifting other marginalized communities/identities

  • If you’re at the table or in a position of power, use your power to uplift marginalized communities/identities.

    • E.g. Ensuring that organizations remain committed to their DEI pledges

  • Connect with white allies on where you need support

    • E.g. The need for more women of color in leadership positions

Career and personal development for women of color

  • Work on your own internal biases and be able to recognize systemic issues

    • Address the voices in your head that informs your views, which includes Imposter Syndrome.

    • Systemic issues can include leadership advice that do not work for women of color due to racial stereotypes.

  • You will not be able to tackle every issue so choose what you have the capacity for.

  • “Leadership is half about people and half about getting things done.”

  • Learn and define your boundaries.

  • Devote time to sit within yourself to reflect on your goals and your progress

    • E.g. journaling, coaching, etc.
