IIP062 Why DEI Often Fails Black Women in Leadership - a podcast by Kay Fabella

#062 - In this episode, Kay Fabella welcomes Mechelle Roberthon, VP and Director of Talent Development at Home Bank, to discuss why DEI often fails Black women in leadership and how it could be improved.

Mechelle dives into how Black women end up actively increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as advocating for employees across other marginalized groups. She also exemplifies how organizations benefit from their increased representation in leadership.

Finally, Mechelle shares findings from her doctoral research on the lack of Black women in executive-level leadership roles in the corporate world — and specific ways for companies to better support and center them and others on their DEI journey.
