Just started a new job in corporate and I’ve never in my entire life felt like this in any field. I’m so happy this video existed. ❤️

[@ErickaNicole]

I have to finish this at home because I’m at work in tears. I feel seen. I’m an admin assistant at a public school and was hired by a black woman that’s the Director of the school. The micro aggressions we face are endless. I stood up for myself in a meeting and I’ll do that shit again. If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be in this position. I’m going back to school and they’re paying for it! She lifted me up with her 🥹❤️🙏🏾

Be very strong and courageous. I am been there.

[@vaneshadavis1290]

As a Black woman who has worked in corporate America for 25+ years I loved seeing this dialogue! Thank you Angela🙏🏾💜💜

[@Evp37h]

Oooooh this is my type of carrying on!

[@Evp37h]

Oooh I appreciate you sharing how you managed being a single mother while building your career!! Salute from another single mother boss lady!

[@Bera226]

This is such a necessary conversation for black women. Thank you!

[@Tango-em9ri]

Thank you! I am the only black female in a male dominate field in 🇿🇦. After a tough week it’s great to see i am not alone, and one can serve intelligence and excellence, despite the environment.

[@RiseandReignK]

I’ve been working in corporate marketing my entire career, and I felt so seen and heard watching this. It really gets real for us 🩷 Thanks for sharing!

[@ashleythaaatsme]

LOVED every bit of this interview! I listened before going into the office and it put me in the perfect headspace and attitude, prepared to conquer the day. I'm grateful to everyone that made this happen!

[@2cupcakes1jar45]

Thank you for sharing this! This is what I need to hear and learn from these great leaders! First -generation from a third world country here and your stories have inspired me to try this-"knowing what I want....and how I contributed...." I put my head down and don't elevate, network, and don't know how to express what I contributed (voice out ). I love those encouraging words and how to exhibit those skills and knowing how to answer that question -What do you want?

[@mariah8534]

I listen to this once a week since it has come out. Thank you ladies

[@nouser8021]

Thank you for creating this Truly

[@alexpress5375]

Thank you Angela! This was awesome and needed. We definitely need a part 2!

[@blackpsych_conscious]

Thriving in corporate America is a delusion.

[@erickacarter1996]

A delusion that pays the bills 🙃

[@blackpsych_conscious]

@@erickacarter1996 Thriving certainly does not mean just making a check. I understand the money portion, I really do. But at what sacrifice? I can't continue being in that space at the sacrifice of compartmentalizing my identity and "de-blackifying" myself any longer.

[@angelamonell4426]

This was amazing and spoke to everything I am dealing with. Definitely tips on how to show up stronger!

[@AVBNOW23]

Love this ❤

[@tshegofatsomadiope8881]

[@marqcollins1792]

[@harmony3279]

Go Angela Ye!!!!

[@amberpatton1097]

❤❤❤

[@robertstevensonjr3286]

Hello Beautiful

[@pricelessprincess001]

This sounds like a DEI commercial. These are all diversity officers which is a useless and inflated role. DEI is a dying field and we can’t rest on this work. Companies are abandoning their DEI work left and right. Internal to companies it’s never taken ground and most internal efforts FAIL.

[@Bereal-yd5gh]

I hate that you are navigating through life like this. You must drain others. I hope you heal.

[@norftoboujie3249]

Angela annoyed me talking over this woman😒
