This complicated issue is being discussed in boardrooms across North America. You’re not alone.

If you’ve never felt “othered” by your heritage, you can’t know what you don’t know. That’s where I can help.

The statistics
are grim

As of July 2019, only 3.5% of TSX-listed Canadian companies were led by a woman CEO

Despite having a larger share of tertiary degrees, highly-educated Canadian women earned only 73% of their male counterparts’ earnings in 2016.

50% to 69% of Black, East Asian, and South Asian professionals who are highly on guard against bias have a high intent to quit.

At every step up the corporate ladder, women of colour lose ground to White women and men of colour. Statistics show the numbers going from 7% in VP roles to 4% in C-Suite

Gender Wage Gap for ‘women of colour’ $0.67 for every $1.00 earned by White Men

Women of color continue to lose ground at every step in the pipeline—between the entry level and the C-suite, the representation of women of color drops off by more than 75 percent. - McKinsey 2021

Women of color account for only 4 percent of C-suite leaders, a number that hasn’t moved significantly in the past three years. - McKinsey 2021
