The Exits We Can't Afford: Black Women, Work, and What We're Losing

In this powerful episode, Turiya and Gina are joined by gender economist, speaker, and founder/CEO of Pipeline to unpack the alarming rise in Black women exiting the U.S. workforce and what it reveals about the state of work today. We explore the data behind the trend, the workplace dynamics driving it, and why this is more than a diversity issue but also a business and economic one. From burnout and bias to policy shifts and leadership blind spots, this conversation challenges organizations to look deeper at who work is really working for. If you care about retention, equity, and the future of the workforce, this episode is a must-listen.
