Karima-Catherine Goundiam is the founder and chief executive officer of digital strategy firm Red Dot Digital and business matchmaking platform B2BeeMatch.These days, I’m noticing that a lot of women – and in particular Black women and women of colour – are becoming less patient with the systemic injustices we face in the workplace and are more likely to take a stand, loudly and publicly. We want change.
I’ve observed firsthand how some organizations, shielded by their private or non-profit status from disclosing diversity metrics, have quietly reduced their hiring of women. It was especially ironic when I recently found myself presenting to an all-male panel – seven men – in an entity that professes to champion diversity and inclusion.
If you’re a woman reading this – BIPOC or otherwise – I want to encourage you to quit loudly if you reach your limit. Stay alive, but walk away.if you have to, particularly if your workplace has been toxic to you or harmful to others, or has engaged in unethical behaviour. And if you reach this point in your working life, know that you’re not alone. Be courageous.
