The Illusion of Progress: Moving Beyond Representation to Real Power Inspired by Robyn Anderson

In this episode, we confront the illusion of progress in corporate America by examining why increased representation doesn’t always translate to real power for Black women. Inspired by the experiences of trailblazing leaders and the rise of Black women-owned businesses, we unpack the persistent barriers that remain hidden behind diversity statistics. Tune in as we explore the urgent need for systemic change, the importance of amplifying Black women’s voices, and how the Soft Girl Era philosophy empowers us to demand equity, not just visibility.
