LLMs Can Be Used to Foster Inclusive Outcomes! It was an incredible journey to have been a part of this study featured in Management Today, which addresses the persistent challenges and #underrepresentation of #Black #female #leaders in the #corporateworld. Our research, eloquently chronicled by the genius Jane Simms, reveals a disheartening reality: the hurdles Black women face in climbing the corporate ladder are strikingly similar to those from 200 years ago. Despite the passage of time, these professionals continue to work harder and take more career-focused #risks than their peers to achieve breakthroughs. I am grateful for the collaboration with an incredible team, including Spyros Angelopoulos, Dr. Immaculate (Mac) Dadiso Motsi-Omoijiade, Alexander Kharlamov, and Nataliya Tkachenko, PhD, who brought invaluable insights to this study. Special thanks to Jane Simms and Management Today for recognizing the significance of this issue and giving it the platform it deserves, a stark contrast to our experience with other outlets, like The Conversation Australia + NZ, whose editor cited "lack of time" and refused to publicise this research... Well, we never give up and we always find the time as these issues are important and very real! 💡 #Leadership #Diversity #Inclusion #BlackFemaleLeaders #Equality #Change 📣 We are grateful to everyone who got back to us and shared their experiences of #discrimination and #stereotyping in the workplace but let’s keep the momentum going! What #inclusion topics do you think need more visibility? How can we better support #underrepresented voices in #leadership across industries? Please, share your insights with our team and let’s work together to amplify voices that are too often overlooked.

Over the last few years, the struggles of companies to create more diverse boards has come to light. In order to have more Black and Brown women on the boards of corporate companies, it starts with their interest level. How do we gain the interest of young girls of color early in life so that they aspire to sit on those seats? This article from @blackenterprise highlights the importance of starting to target middle-school aged Black and Brown girls when they are just starting to develop their confidence and are starting to see themselves as leaders. What do you think are the best engagements strategies to target the next generation of female leaders in corporate spaces.

McKinsey & Company has a wealth of information available. I'm proud to have completed their Leadership Essentials Program this past spring. #socialissues #inclusionanddiversity #womenownedbusiness #societyandculture

58 Black women get a promotion to every 100 white men, despite both groups asking for promotions at the same rate, according to a study done by Lean In. Therein lies one of many key factors creating obstacles in Black women's careers, leadership strides, and success. How many times will someone else simply be "more qualified" for that promotion over Black women? When does a "one-off" decision become a pattern? Finally, how do we stop this pattern from repeating so that Black women can advance their careers and we can see more diversity at the top?
