Women of color can no longer buy into the ‘inclusion delusion’
Fortune | Deepa Purushothaman
"The recent confirmation hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson shed light on the challenges women of color face in the workplace, from heightened scrutiny of their qualifications to enduring microaggressions. This article explores the ""inclusion delusion"" that often plagues women of color in corporate America, where they may be highly visible but still feel like they don't belong or have real power. The author, Deepa Purushothaman, emphasizes the importance of creating spaces where companies genuinely listen to women of color, redistribute power, and establish policies that support them. As more women of color consider leaving traditional structures to create more inclusive cultures, businesses must adapt to retain diverse talent.
