During this year's virtual eventĀ Oct. 15-17, which nearly 10,000 women are expected to attend,Ā Woman, Thou Art Loosed!Ā Master Class will discuss current topics including Black Lives Matter, education, mental health and social justice in entertainmentāled by Good and Saint John. Just-added session titled "What You Do vs. Who You Are"āfeaturing panelists King,Ā Lance BottomsĀ and Ryeāwill address balancing a work persona with one's overall identity. The pressure and demands of the workplace often require a different version of the woman who goes home to greet her family at night. For women of color especially, being allowed to show vulnerability is increasingly at odds. It seems that as women of color enter positions of authority and influence, they are held to a different likability standard. Are women of color allowed to be powerful on the job and likeable at the same time? And how can we identify the often-harmful yet subtle suggestions to separate identity from one's job? In this intriguing session, the panel will discuss ways women who are doing it all can separate their identities from their careers and handle adversity in the world.
