It’s difficult enough for marginalized people to gain entry into the professional world. Advancing their careers, especially to leadership positions, is even harder. In this health talk session, attendees will understand how marginalized people are kept from fully participating in the workplace due to implicit bias, glorification of educational backgrounds, and an emphasis on strict professional experiences. When marginalized communities are underemployed and underutilized, companies lose unique perspectives that enrich the workplace. Participants who belong to a marginalized community will be empowered to gain self-confidence and establish boundaries.
