Welcome back to another episode of Black Women in Corporate America with your host, Nicole S. Palmer. In this episode, I dive into some essential housekeeping items, exciting updates about my upcoming book 'Playing the Game While Black Womaning in Corporate America™, and the various ways you can get a copy for free! Then we turn the spotlight on Bozoma Saint John, her remarkable achievements, and the realities and challenges black women face in corporate spaces. Let's keep it real about the systemic obstacles and the strategic ways to navigate them. This episode is packed with actionable insights and a heartfelt discussion about staying true to oneself while being mindful of the larger corporate landscape. Stay tuned until the end for a special announcement about our very first guest on the show next week!

In this episode, we’re diving deep into a topic hot off the press: why more Black women are choosing remote work to protect their peace and escape the racism and microaggressions so often found in office culture. Inspired by a Business Insider article on this very trend, we break down the concept I’m calling “Remotely Retreating.”

I also share real-world strategies and tips to help you transition to remote work, plus a few resources that helped me along the way.
