Navigating Corporate America as a Black Woman (with Yodonnic Etoria) - a podcast by Ama Appiah

In today’s episode, my friend, Yodonnic Etoria, stops by the virtual studio to catch me up on what she’s been up to in her first year of post grad. As a black woman in STEM, she talks about her experiences as a manager in Corporate America. Yodonnic gives good insight as to how she navigated the corporate space as well as how this experience has been impacted by the George Floyd murder and Black Lives Matter movement. We both discuss our thoughts on the conversations we’ve had at work about racial injustice and the (sometimes... surprising) reactions. I think this conversation really puts into perspective how difficult it is for Black people to survive these environments, even though Yodonnice and I are very used to being the only black person, let alone black women, in the room.

We also reflect on our forever love for the Jonas Brothers and how we are salty that Priyanka and Sophie took our men. It had no choice but to be noted. Such a great and informative episode. Hope you guys enjoy, Talk to you soon!
