Trying to advance your career as a woman of color isn't always
easy. According to a recent study from McKinsey and LeanIn.org,
women of color represent only 4% of C-Level positions, despite
representing about 18% of the U.S. population. So it shouldn't come
as a surprise that according to Census data, minority women now
control nearly half of all women-run businesses. But even with this
entrepreneurial growth, much support is still needed for women of
color to advance and thrive in the business world.
That's where Fern Johnson comes in. She created Career Sisters as a
safe haven for women of color to learn, grow, share and emerge as
powerful business leaders, ready to take on the world. Listen to
her powerful story on this episode of Joy Economics.
