Summary

“ Paradox: One (such as a person, situation, or action) having seemingly contradictory qualities or phases” Merriam-Webster. While all women in leadership positions face the perceived paradox of being a woman in power, women of color, and Black women in particular, often face additional challenges just doing their jobs. In this pre-Tea episode Deane joins Come Abide Here founder Bathabile Mthombeni to talk about what makes being a Black woman in power so complicated and about how White women can better partner with Black women and other women of color in their organizations to build coalitions that resolve the perceived power paradox.
