It’s the last day of Women’s History Month and if you identify as a woman in the workplace, this survey is for you. What does inclusion look like for you? What about equity? Is that happening at work? What IS happening at work? Let’s stop allowing others to tell our work stories.

More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

Just look at how we view hoodies. On Mark Zuckerberg, the hoodie is a symbol of whiz kid meritocracy breaking norms and developing the New Economy. On people like Trayvon Martin, the hoodie is sometimes seen as proof of criminality. Again, it's about the bodies beneath the clothes.

When I do candidate interviews and ask them “What managerial style works best for you?” almost all of them start with what doesn’t work. “I cannot work with micromanagers.” Yet here we are.

All these calls for Kamala just show me that those people have no idea how to strategize or be the change they want to see. Stop putting your anxious feelings on the person who tried to fight for us but lost because of your cousins who don’t understand civics or critical thinking.
