In honor of Black History Month, Alia and her cousin Arica Harris, Group Leader of Banking and Payment Operations for one of the largest financial services companies in the country reflect on their shared family history as descendants of Tulsa Race Massacre survivors and how this legacy has enabled their own Phenomenal Grit.
Arica discusses how she found comfort in discomfort early in her career when she was the only or one of a few people of color in "the room". She offers tips on how to build relationships, stand out at work, and secure sponsorship within your organization. This episode is a must for anyone who has ever found it difficult to navigate spaces where they are in the minority. Be inspired!
