E43: The Facade of Empowering Women (of Color)

On today's episode of Inclusion Unscripted, we explore the meaning of empowerment in the talent development process and ask the question: Do women of color need organizations to empower them?

Host, Margaret Spence, unpacks the construct of empowering women of color within an organizational hierarchy. Margaret challenges the traditional definition of empowerment, which implies granting power and delegating authority to managers over a woman's future. Instead, she argues that true empowerment involves giving women the ability to access organizational development resources without gatekeepers.
