Hattie McCarter launched a podcast, Tea with Hattie B, where she and her guests tackle issues of importance to women of color and dive into difficult conversations. McCarter says the focus of the podcast is to “invite people to step into a place where they can be humble, open, transparent, and unapologetic about things that matter to us as women, people of color and as human beings.” Topics have included everything from how Black men are viewed within our communities and interracial marriage to the mortality rate of Black women and self-care for women.
“My goal is to educate and build an understanding through raw and robust conversations about being Black in America and how to be impactful as an ally and, overall, a good human being,” she said. McCarter has launched employee resource groups at the Pennsylvania Department of Labor & Industry Office of Vocational Rehabilitation and at the Pennsylvania Department of General Services. She also owns a consulting business, McCarter’s Equitable and Distinctive Solutions.“As women of color, we are always known for our resilience and strength in some capacity; and sometimes that can be a blessing and a curse.
