Recently, I’ve been so cognizant of the fact that as a white woman in business, I’ve mostly been able to bring my whole self to work every day. And the realization that my colleagues of color have not felt able to or given permission to, or have felt as though they would be judged or (consciously or unconsciously) because of their life experience, was just so eye opening for me. Especially in this year that seems to have highlighted incredible racial inequalities, I have truly been touched and humbled and honored, when that safe space is opened up.
