    Let's talk about it - Working with the enemy

    Let's talk about it - Working with the enemy

    Let's talk about the somewhat uncomfortable position black women can find themselves in whereby they are consciously or unconsciously silent to racism at work because we are more concerned about the impact on our career.
    BWW hosts Natalie and Chantelle talk about this after news that Ice Spice has collaborated with Taylor Swift.
    Ultimately we always believe in protecting your peace and your coin but we had to unpick the intricate ways racism and power play out in the workplace.

    Keep the conversation going and let us know your thoughts

    EP20 - What I Wanted To Say Was - Natalie

    Hello listeners! We are back introducing a new segment - 'What I Wanted To Say Was'.

    'What I Wanted to Say Was' is a short episode in which we invite our listeners to share an experience, message or story of their choice relating to their professional and career experience without interruption as a way to uplift and empower our listeners.

    BWW co-host, Natalie, kicks off sharing her reflections on times where she hasn't been able to find the fronts to confront microaggressions at work and in hindsight what she would do with her evolved knowledge and confidence now.

    If you would like to contribute to this segment, please email us for more details.

    EP19 - Generational Wealth

    EP19 - Generational Wealth

    The topic of Generational Wealth has stirred up quite a buzz over the past few years, especially in the wake of the dire financial impact of the pandemic. The BWW team takes a deeper dive into practical ways we as Black women can secure the future for generations after us, what the sacrifices to do that might look like, and what safeguarding the fruits of our labour against imprudent decisions might look like too.

    With so much dialogue floating around about this, this episode is a direct challenge to us all to start having those critical conversations, empowering ourselves with more information, and making some vital commitments in a timely fashion.

    EP18 - Sis, Listen! - Ifunanya

    EP18 - Sis, Listen! - Ifunanya

    In this episode of Sis, Listen!, Tols speaks with guest Ifu on her professional route into Technology and Transformation Consultancy. A mouthful right?! Well Ifu breaks down what that looks like, her ambitious and driven plans to get to the highest levels possible, shares some personal professional triumphs, and describes a journey which is a great reminder of "tough times don't last, tough people do".

    If you've been stuck in a rut with seemingly no prospects, no opportunities, and nowhere to go, you don't want to miss this episode.

    Let's Talk About It - Bus Drivers or nah?

    Let's Talk About It - Bus Drivers or nah?

    Join us as we talk about the realities of dating as professional successful black women. There has been a significant rise in the discussions around black women, feminine energy and when black woken should use their voices and when they should be quiet (if there is ever such a time). We explore what these concepts mean for black women on a practical level and of course, whether we would date a bus driver.
