Welcome to the first reflection of season 2! Following my riveting conversation with the insightful Kelly Morales, in this episode I am bringing back the topic of feeling invisible in predominantly white spaces as a person of color for more exploration. As Kelly pointed out on Ep 2, feeling like you are invisible is a common phenomenon amongst black women including Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris. People sometimes treat us like we are not there and actively ignore our opinion and experiences.The experiences women of color have with this phenomenon range from being ignored in meetings and people taking credit for our ideas, all the way to life and death situations.For instance, black women are 3-4 times more likely to die during childbirth, because healthcare professionals, who are often non-black, just do not listen to us or take our pain seriously. We almost lost Serena Williams to this issue.   Listen to this episode for my experiences  with the phenomenon of visibility and some tips that have worked for me to actively gain visibility in the workplace.
