While Black women tend to have a great deal of confidence, they must deal with negative stereotypes of Black women which makes them feel they need to either “dial up or dial down portions of their identity so as to appear as professional as possible,” reports Target Market News.
The BCWN Conference was hands down the best thing I've attended this year! The storytellers were raw and uncut when sharing with us the trials and tribulations they have gone through professionally and personally.
There were breakthroughs, tears, applause, dancing, smiles, tapping, storytelling, listening, learning and most of all the start of a real sisterhood.
Thank you Sherry Sims for bringing this idea to life! ❤👏
