In this impactful episode, we delve into the reasons why Black professionals may engage in "gatekeeping" within corporate America. We examine the distinct obstacles Black employees encounter in corporate environments and emphasize the significance of mentorship, sponsorship, and establishing pathways for advancement. We share personal experiences of how we utilize our positions to elevate and create opportunities for others, thereby fostering diversity and representation in leadership roles. Join us for a frank discussion on community, accountability, and how to proactively pave the way for the upcoming generation of Black corporate leaders.

"Gatekeeping" in the workplace refers to the practice of individuals, often those in positions of power, who restrict access to opportunities or information for others, particularly those from marginalized groups.
