This year one of the salient topics was around the ambition of black women and how it is perceived. “ 59 percent of Black women leaders want to be top executives, compared to 49 percent of women leaders overall. But they are also more likely than women leaders of other races and ethnicities to receive signals that it will be harder for them to advance,” the report finds. “Compared to other women at their level, Black women leaders are more likely to have colleagues question their competence and to be subjected to demeaning behavior—and one in three Black women leaders says they’ve been denied or passed over for opportunities because of personal characteristics, including their race and gender.” 📣 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐃, 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐘 𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐃 📣 BsquaredC is a platform for connecting, inspiring, and celebrating black women in the corporate world.
