In this powerful episode of Represented, I sit down with Ama "That Inclusion Lady" Agyapong, a renowned Inclusion advisor, coach, and speaker with over 15 years of experience, to discuss the impact of white supremacy culture on Black women in America today.
We explore the harsh realities of misogynoir and how, even in 2024, Malcolm X’s famous words about Black women being the most disrespected and unprotected still hold weight. Ama shares her thoughts on the role of white supremacy culture in shaping perfectionism and leadership expectations for Black women, and how this narrative affects their worth in professional spaces.
Key takeaways from this episode:
- Misogynoir: The unique struggle Black women face at the intersection of race and gender.
- Perfectionism as a tool of white supremacy: How this standard is used to undermine Black women in leadership.
- Intent vs Impact in feedback: Ama's insights on why constructive feedback often misses the mark and how we can do better.
- Allyship and advocacy: Practical advice for white women on fostering racial equity both in business and personal life.
This is a must-listen for anyone committed to cultivating genuine inclusion and understanding the layered impact of race and gender on Black women in leadership.
