True or False: Some of our biggest adversaries in the workplace have been other women.
Women have often been put in situations where we've felt we have to be territorial. This has led to a cultural divide and competitive landscape amongst women.
How do we break up with this notion so we can claim power collectively, in a way that still acknowledges the roots we have and the lessons we need to learn from and with each other?
To coach us through this conversation we invited Farai Chideya. Farai is a prolific author and multimedia journalist whose work has been featured in CNN, Newsweek, NPR and more. She is also the host of her own Podcast, Our Body Politic, where she unapologetically reports how women of color impact today’s major political events and where she has led fruitful and balanced conversations with culture makers, politicians, artists, and leaders.
This session was recorded in August as part of a more intimate coaching session with VEST Members and has been repurposed to accommodate this episode. Special thanks to Mautra Jones, Executive Director of the Langston University Foundation and VEST Member for moderating the session.
