Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 To find your power, you must first break through the delusions you are forced to ignore as a woman of color working in corporate environments. Delusions are so-called rules that have been set up around you. They are stories you have been told to make you believe and act a certain way. #2 The truth is, Corporate America has never fostered true equity for women of color, and company cultures aren't set up to support us. #3 The idea that the pipeline is broken and we just can't find you is a myth. Data shows that people tend to congregate with others who are similar to them. White leaders are not looking in the right places, and they are not addressing all the ways in which they force WOC out. #4 The well-known résumé study by Marianne Bertrand and Sendhil Mullainathan in 2003 found that a white name yielded as many callbacks as an additional eight years' experience from a person of color.
