““Being a stereotype - gives you something to break.””
Venus Williams was in Næstved yesterday to promote her new book, “Strive: 8 Steps to Find Your Awesome” and my friend, Adama did an exceptional job as the moderator. Venus is kind and humble with a wonderful sense of humour. Many thanks to ProWoc (Professional Women of Colour) for the invitation.
I think it's extremely helpful and important to have a personal understanding of underrepresented groups. As this will make it easier to measure and report on diversity at work and take positive action to improve the representation of minority groups in the workplace. And from my perspective it was encouraging to see so many employers taking steps to do this on a voluntary basis before the ESG reporting comes into force. Do you have colleagues from ethnic minority groups? Are you encouraging them to take part in external networks, for example, Professional Women of Colour (ProWoc) or the Brotherhood for Professional of Color (BPoC)?
