Listen "Creating an equitable future for Afro Latina and Black Women at Work with: Dr Marisol Capellan"
Episode Synopsis
The experience of Black women at work differs from that of other Americans, even that of Black men and White women. Understanding Black women's double minority status at work is a necessary part of building inclusive and equitable workplaces.
A survey conducted by the Gallup Center on Black Voices between Nov. 6 and Dec. 1, 2020, found that Black women are less likely to feel they are treated with respect in the workplace. They are also less likely to feel like a valued member of their team and that their coworkers treat everyone fairly.
Dr. Marisol Capellan is the Founder and Director of Transformational Coaching Certifications at The Capellan Institute. Dr. Capellan is an internationally recognized and award-winning educator, coach and TEDx speaker. She is a former lecturer at the University of Miami, Miami Herbert Business School, a leadership and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion speaker and trainer, and a certified executive coach. She graduated with a Masters in in Leadership and a doctoral degree in Higher Education Leadership from the University of Miami. Her dissertation focus was on the trajectory of women to leadership positions.
As an Afro-Latina, mother, and immigrant she has faced and witnessed many of the institutional and systemic barriers and biases that Black women face in their career trajectory to leadership roles, which sparked her passion in women’s empowerment and the need to increase the representation of women in positions of power. She is currently writing a book, Leadership is a Responsibility, about her career journey experience as a Black Hispanic woman in Academia, the stories of Black women in the workplace and the need of responsible leaders.to create a more equitable society where minority can belong and thrive.
In addition, her personal story of resilience has been featured on CNN where she discussed how her mindset helped her overcome homelessness at 17 years of age while highlighting the systemic inequalities that minorities go through in order to succeed. She joined me this week to tell me more.
