Challenges & Advancements of Women of Color & Minorities in the Workplace

“I have to achieve so much to be on the same playing field as other women in the workplace” - underrepresented women, women of color, and minorities have all experienced disproportionate success. While women are advancing in their careers today, there is still a lag in women of color and minorities climbing the ladder toward success and achievement.

Join Janiece Evans-Page, CEO of Tides and Diahann Billings-Burford, CEO of RISE as they tell their stories on their pathways to success and how organizations can create equitable, inclusive workplaces for women of color and minorities. They will define the realities of what representation and lack of respect mean for Black women and minorities and how to overcome those challenges to create more space to advance in their careers. Odessa Jenkins, President of Emtrain will lead the discussion.
