Strategies for Black alumni career success; a conversation with Dr. John Polk
For Black professionals, success in the workplace often involves navigating the difficult terrain of systemic biases from both organizations and individuals. Success can also be limited by one’s own biases as it relates to one’s identity. These biases can also have a profound inner effect, leading Black professionals to limit their own career development.
