“When we pick up a career experience book it’s either written by a white man or woman and we have to make it work for us…. I wrote it for us so we could finally see ourselves in the pages of the career narrative. But I also wrote it for our colleagues, managers, our aspiring allies and advocates so that they can understand how to show up.”
-Minda Harts, Best-Selling Author and Chief Executive Officer, The Memo LLC
“So many people are being harmed in the workplace because of a lack of allyship. We need the support of everyone to make the workplace better, and so I would ask … who are you willing to be courageous for?” MH
“Absolutely, and that’s the whole notion of performative allyship: Your words don’t mean anything if they’re not followed by action.” CL
“We know that where people have leveraged inclusivity and equity in the right ways, it actually increases earnings.”
-Connie L. Lindsey, Executive Vice President and Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, Northern Trust, Chicago
“Talk to us about what women of color can do to address ‘imposter syndrome’.” CL
“I’m still a work in progress, but because I was ‘the only one,’ imposter syndrome creeped in frequently. Because when you’re in a situation that’s not inclusive, you start to question yourself…. You’re asking if I belong because people are not making you feel like you do. I want to let you know that imposter syndrome is a product of toxicity…. You belong in every room you enter.” MH
