In her new book, THE FIRST, THE FEW, THE ONLY: How Women of Color Can Redefine Power in Corporate America (March 1, 2022, Harper Business), Deepa Purushothaman lays the groundwork for how other women of color can redefine success on their own terms. It’s the book she says she needed when launching her own career. In this episode of the Embracing Only Podcast, Archita Fritz and Olivia Cream unpack these stories as they share how they saw themselves on every page of the book for the first time. They talk through the inclusion delusion, the toll on the health of women leading from the front and the definitions women of color take on and how women of color can step into their power! Deepa’s book recieved raving reviews from Indra Nooyi, Billie Jean King, Dan Pink and many others. This episode is for all women of color, women and allies on the journey to building more inclusive workplaces.
