This week, we teamed up with the fabulous ladies of Collective Shades to talk about being a WOC (Woman of Color) in the workplace and navigating the treacherous competition at NYC. This episode was LADIES ONLY and we got to unleash all of our gripes but also how each of us fought to move up without sacrificing being true to ourselves. We touch on microaggressions, code-switching, and flat-out discrimination in the workplace and how to keep sane and poised through it all.

Collective Shades is a Creative and Lifestyle Digital Platform founded by Angie Pearson and Litsey Aguilar that celebrates Women of Color from all ethnicities in creative fields. Their mission is to highlight and connect Women of Color by providing a community of empowerment and conversation.
