"...the words I saw...LOUD and AGGRESSIVE...I was speechless."😳
My HR expert friend found these words written on her annual performance review by the company president. After she'd exceeded expectations just 60 days earlier.
This is the reality for Black women in corporate America. 💔
But Monique didn't just take it. With 25+ years in HR, she knew exactly how to fight back, and she's sharing all of her secrets with us.
Your survival toolkit:
✅️ Never sign a review you disagree with
✅️ Schedule your own feedback meetings
✅️ Document EVERYTHING
✅️ Know your rights under Title VII
✅️ Take control of your career destiny
The stats don't lie:
Only 54 Black women promoted for every 100 men. 40% of us have had our judgement questioned in our area of expertise.
But we're learning how to protect ourselves and thrive💪🏿💪🏾💪🏽

I’m incredibly excited to join Rhoda Banks & Co. for this powerful conversation centered on the experiences of Black women in the workplace and the harmful narratives of being labeled “loud” or “aggressive” for simply leading with confidence and clarity……

🎥Some movies are meant to be experienced in a theater — light flickering through film, surrounded by an audience, in a place that cares about cinema.
That’s why I’m supporting Cinema St. Louis’ 35mm campaign this Give STL Day. #BoardMember #lovefilm
