The Ceilings of Patriarchy: Glass, Concrete, & Bamboo

You've heard of the glass ceiling, which describes the invisible (are they really?) barriers women face when advancing in their professional careers or organizational hierarchies. But did you know that racialized women (or we can use the term women of color, feel free to change as you see it) face different barriers made up of completely different (and more solid) material? The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the percentage of women participating in the workforce in 2022 was 56.8. This means that women make up more than half of the nation's workforce, and yet the playing field remains unbalanced. In this episode we talk about the concrete and bamboo ceilings for women of color with (name of guest & title), and how we can use our (invisible) sledgehammers to shatter them.
