MY JOURNEY: A TALE OF SUPPORT AND STRUGGLE

In one of my chapters, I share my personal journey after working with a global leader who provided unwavering support. I highlight the stark contrast between this positive experience and my encounter at companies A, B, C, and D, where I faced a lack of support and witnessed similar struggles among other women of color.

In this chapter, I dive into my transformative experience working with a global leader who recognized my potential and actively supported my growth. I describe the mentorship, guidance, and opportunities I received, which allowed me to thrive in my role. I emphasize the importance of such support for women of color, as it not only benefits individuals but also contributes to the overall success of organizations.

However, my journey was not without its challenges. I recount my experiences at companies A, B, C, and D, where I encountered a lack of support and observed similar struggles among other women of color. I highlight the detrimental impact of this lack of inclusion, including higher attrition rates, increased racial and sexual lawsuits, and revenue loss for these companies.

So, in that chapter, I shed light on the significance of support for women of color in the workplace. My personal journey serves as a powerful reminder of the positive outcomes that can arise when leaders commit to fostering inclusion and empowering women of all color. By sharing my experiences, I aim to inspire change and encourage organizations to create environments that embrace diversity and support the growth of women of color.
