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.

Get motivated to fight for the opportunities and respect you deserve as a Black woman in tech. Dr. Syreeta brings straight talk and inspiration!

Success Is the Journey, Not the Outcome (My Take on Failure and Rejection) 

You look at the people you admire, and you see the finished version. The company, the title, the stage, the applause. You almost never see the years of failure and rejection it took to get there. And quietly, you start measuring yourself against their outcome instead of your own journey. In this solo episode, I share my honest take on [...]

You Don’t Need a Technical Background to Build Something | Naama Nicotra, NakedPak

You're at a dinner party with people you've known for a year. They didn't know what you did for a living. When they find out, one of them looks at you and says: ”Wow.
