Real Talk: Black Women on Balancing Pressure, Fatigue, and New Opportunities in Uncertain Times

Real Talk: Black Women on Balancing Pressure, Fatigue, and New Opportunities in Uncertain Times 1 Nov 2021 --- Black women are often "the onlys" in their organizations, putting tremendous pressure on them in uncertain times, but also offering unique opportunities. The pandemic and social unrest over the past 18 months have taken a disproportionate toll on Black women. As organizations begin to have conversations about racism, exclusion, justice, belongingness, and equity, Black women are often leading those conversations. And they’re frequently tasked with helping to develop solutions to these challenges. Our three hosts ask themselves: how do you balance the pressure, stress, and fatigue, with the onus of wanting to do well not only for ourselves, but for others? Hosted by Ellen Bailey, VP of Diversity and Culture at Harvard Business Publishing; Octavia Goredema, author of Prep, Push, Pivot: Essential Career Strategies for Underrepresented Women; and Laura Morgan Roberts, Professor of Practice at University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business.

Understanding the Venture Capital Gender Gap | HBR IdeaCast

Understanding the Venture Capital Gender Gap | HBR IdeaCast 5 Apr 2023 --- Jenny Lefcourt, partner at Freestyle VC and cofounder of All Raise, says that even as a serial entrepreneur herself, she long underestimated how little venture capital funding goes to female startup founders compared to the money men get. She believes unconscious biases, an industry built on intuition, and historical dynamics all contribute to this inequity. They also affect the low numbers of women in decision-making roles at VC firms. Lefcourt explains the ways the industry can actively reduce this gap.
