Why do people assume successful women in top positions must have been ‘sponsored’ by men? In this episode, we break down the harmful cultural and societal biases that strip hardworking women of the dignity of their labor.
Inspired by the recent CBN Cardoso consultants controversy, we explore why patriarchal capitalism affects everyone (not just women) and how these outdated notions hold us back as a society. Are we truly ready to compete on a global scale when we keep undermining women’s achievements?
With insights from Solape Akinpelu, founder of HerVest and author of ‘Stripped: An African Woman’s Guide to Building Generational Wealth’, we discuss real solutions: how to recognise implicit bias, navigate the harsh realities of workplace discrimination, and shift the mindset that continues to discredit women’s success.
Tune in for an eye-opening conversation on why it’s time to change the narrative!
