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.
