Proximity to Power or Proximity to Yourself? Let’s Talk About It.

A viral soundbite sparked a bigger conversation than most people were ready for. When Emma Grede suggested that women need to return to the office and be in proximity to power to succeed, the internet reacted fastbut not always with clarity. In this episode, we go beyond the surface-level debate and unpack what was really underneath the response, especially for Black women. Because this was never just about remote work. This was about access. This was about privilege. This was about safety. This was about systems that were never designed with us in mind. And most importantly, this was about redefining power on our own terms.
