When They Said the Job Was Too Big For Her
Despite having all the right experience, Dr. Syreeta's manager blocked her from even interviewing for a promotion, telling her bluntly ”I don't think you can handle it.”
In this candid interview, the boundary-breaking entrepreneur exposes the extra battles Black women face advancing in tech and corporate leadership. From condescending ”mansplaining” to being passed over for promotions, she's endured it all.
Yet Dr. Syreeta refused to be derailed. Instead of internalizing the doubts, she used them as fuel to prove her critics wrong through sheer hard work and determination.
Listen as she shares her personal experiences overcoming imposter syndrome, toxic work cultures, and blatant racial bias. Dr. Syreeta holds nothing back so other Black women know they're not alone.
You'll discover how she ultimately reclaimed her power and self-worth to thrive on her own terms as an entrepreneur. Now, she passes those hard-won lessons on through her lifestyle brand, books, speaking, and more.
