As organizations work toward equity in the workplace, relationships between Black and White women are getting a closer look. Historically, the relationships between women from different racioethnic categories have been tenuous, but by understanding these dynamics—and the power imbalances that caused them—people can work together more effectively to achieve equity, argue Dr. Tina Opie and Dr. Beth Livingston in their new book Shared Sisterhood. In a new Author Talks interview, Dr. Opie reveals five institutional roadblocks to equity that your organization may be facing and details the practices used to overcome them. For insights on how organizations can weave DEI principles into the product development process, check out McKinsey partners Martin Harrysson and Claudy Jules' recent interview with Google’s Annie Jean-Baptiste.
