In this episode, we explore the realities of thriving as Black professionals in environments not designed for our success. Drawing on powerful insights from Nyree Williams, we examine the persistent rise in workplace discrimination, the limitations of corporate diversity efforts, and the urgent need for community-driven support. Discover how organizations like BNX and the African American Alliance of CDFI CEOs are building infrastructures for resilience, advocacy, and economic empowerment. Learn why true progress requires both individual strategic resilience and collective action, and be inspired to transform awareness into impact for yourself and your community.
