S3:Ep 4
Vulnerability Sucks! But I Gotta Keep It Trill
In this episode I share a part of my story. I discuss my battle with self worth, self doubt & self esteem, how it affected me at work and what I have learned so far in this journey.
I spent a lot of time wondering what’s wrong with me, why am I failing at this game and why am I not good enough… Not good enough to be elevated & sponsored, groomed for senior leadership, and promoted to the next level.
I put a lot of my self-worth and self esteem into what others thought of me at work. I was defining my worth by my career.
The result of my thinking……..
- When I was doing well at work, my life was good.
- When things at work were anything less than optimal, my life was living hell.
But I learned the hard way……
“If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.” ― Audre Lorde.

Discrimination At Ford Motor Company Continues, Another Example w/ Walter Bernard
S3:Ep 32
In the past 2 years, Ford Motor Company has settled with an EEOC Harassment Investigation for $10.125 Million and in March was ordered to pay $16.8 Million to an ex-employee for discrimination and retaliation. Unfortunately, allegations and lawsuits of discrimination are not new for Ford Motor Company. In fact, if you do a good Google search, these stories of mistreatment are widespread throughout the company. Even though they have all the policies in place, deep within the roots of the culture at Ford Motor Company is racism and sexism. One might even say that they can’t help it, Henry Ford was a racist openly admired by Adolf Hitler. 🤷🏿♀️
So how do you manage your career while working for companies like Ford Motor Company, who hold on to such an entrenched culture of racism and sexism?
In this episode, ex-Ford employee, Walter Bernard shares his story of broken promises and discrimination thinly veiled as a layoff. Walter is an attorney, MBA, author, entrepreneur and former NFL football player. He worked for Ford Motor Company for 7 years until he was laid off this June 2019.
