Meeting Guide
The State of Black Women in Corporate America
Overview
Year after year Lean In’s research reveals the same general pattern: Women are having a worse experience at work than men. Women of color are having a worse experience than white women. And Black women in particular are having the worst experience of all. To shine a light on the barriers holding Black women back at work, Lean In has produced a report, The State of Black Women in Corporate America. The report draws on several years of LeanIn.Org and McKinsey & Company’s research on the experiences of Black women in the workplace—and outlines specific steps companies should take to make sure Black women are treated fairly and given equal opportunities to learn, grow, and lead.
