In this conversation with Tony Jackson on the Show Your Receipts podcast, I share insights from the research behind my book, A Seat at the C-Suite Table. We discuss the real-world experiences of Black executives—how they earned and maintained their place in senior leadership, the challenges they faced in systems not originally designed for them, and the ways they’re paving the way for the next generation. It was a pleasure to explore these important topics with Tony and to highlight the resilience, determination, and commitment to mentorship that emerged from these stories.
