Black Women in Business: The Struggles, Wins, and Hope for the Future with Guest Sammetra Daniels
Sammetra Daniels joins the I've Been Thinking...platform to share a candid conversation about the nuances of being Black in business. We discuss how the current focus on diversity and inclusion in the workplace is shifting the conversations around perceived equity in business; what sustainability in diversity and inclusion work looks like for Black people; and why doing the "work" of educating within the spaces we occupy is a balancing act that must be navigated carefully.
Sammetra shares her history growing up in East Palo Alto, CA, a predominantly Black community just outside the tech epicenter on the West Coast and how she has grown comfortable occupying more spaces as her most authentic self.
