Episode Synopsis

In this episode of Black Gems Dive In, we explore the latest headlines impacting Black women in the workforce and leadership. We unpack the Justice Department’s investigation into Chicago’s hiring practices following Mayor Brandon Johnson’s celebration of Black hires, and dig into troubling new data showing that Black women experienced the steepest job losses in April—shedding 106,000 jobs. We also preview the upcoming Women of Color Summit happening June 4–5 in Niagara Falls, NY, with virtual sessions in July. Guests Karen King and Sara Taylor join us to discuss this year’s theme, A C.A.L.L. to Action: Commit, Assemble, Leverage, Lead, and what the summit means for collective empowerment.
