Ever felt like your career journey was a constant uphill battle? We often face unique challenges in the workplace, from subtle biases to outright discrimination. It can be hard to stay confident and bet on yourself when you're constantly facing obstacles. In this episode of Being Brown at Work Live, I'm joined by the incredible Marla Stern, a program and product management leader with over 13 years of experience in the automotive industry. Marla shares her inspiring journey, from immigrating to the US from Brazil to navigating a male-dominated industry. She opens up about the challenges she faced early on, including being told she wasn't ready for a promotion despite years of experience. But Marla's story is a testament to the power of resilience, self-belief, and building a strong network.
