À propos de cet audio

Today, I’m honoring AAPI month by sharing my experience as a young asian american woman navigating my first corporate job and how my identity has affected the way I show up at work. Join me in unraveling the model minority myth and reveal its pervasive influence on the expectations, perceptions, and representations of AAPI professionals. Diving into the myth's impact, we uncover its constraints on career growth and mentorship, while highlighting the importance of disaggregation and actionable strategies for fostering inclusive, equitable workplaces.
