With many women of color considering exiting the workforce due to unfair conditions, it’s time to reshape systems in order to put an end to this massive loss of talent. Exposing the harmful repercussions of racist, toxic organizational cultures, soul coach Rha Goddess and corporate inclusion visionary Deepa Purushothaman share four pathways to reimagine work so women of color are centered as leaders. They urge us to aspire to more than a “seat at the table” and, instead, to remake the whole table — together — and finally stop fighting for “one broke-ass chair.”

    This woman of color has no interest in corporate america. I started my own business. I’m making more money than ever before. The system is not broken. It functions exactly as it was intended to function.

    Im so tired of the “people of color” term. Stop lumping all non-whites together. We do not have the same experiences in America! A lot of “minorities” are even racist towards each other!

    And because of all that We are still demanding too much of ourselves! I don’t think the solution is to glamorise that, no sirs! Sad! Let us be! And be and be… whatever we want to be.

    Is white a color?

    • Daniel Naranjo

      March 8, 2022 at 9:37 pm

      No

    • Those Who Wander

      March 8, 2022 at 10:58 pm

      No. It’s the absence of color.

    • Bless Em

      March 8, 2022 at 11:33 pm

      @Daniel Naranjo it isn’t?

    • Dialectical Monist

      March 9, 2022 at 1:00 am

      It’s “a” color, but not “of” color.

      To be “of” color, you have to have a searing passive aggressive rage induced psychotic persona.

      Isn’t white the absence of color

    • Narrative Gatherer

      March 9, 2022 at 3:49 pm

      @Daniel Naranjo white is the absence of color, eh?

    “People of color is an awkward phrase that obscures meaning rather than enhancing it.” -George Carlin

    • InfinitiveZ

      March 8, 2022 at 10:19 pm

      Carlin also said that in regards to utilizing the term to only mean Black people, because at the time, it was the only instance in which that term was being used. To dog whistle the old term, “colored people”.

      Carlin would likely woop your ass right now for insinuating during an age like this, where people of color are utilizing it to represent their minority populations and cultures in the US, that he had any misgivings for a term they themselves are using to recognize one another. So you can sit down now.

    I’m just going to bet right off the bat, there’s going to be like 250 comments about how two women of color shouldn’t be talking about color, on a topic that demands we recognize WHY there’s so few women of color in the workforce and leadership.

    Seems employers can pick and choose based on skin color all they like, but the moment we even dare mention it, we become the problem.

    Two successful women of colour talking about women of colour being disadvantaged, to an auditorium of mainly white women. Yep…

    No offense intended but is her surname goddess or did she rename herself as ‘Goddess’?
