Being the *Only* Woman or POC at Work

I sat down with diversity and inclusion strategist Ruchika Tulshyan for a conversation on being the only at work (the only woman and/or the only person of color). In this video, we discuss the following:

If you notice a problem at your workplace related to diversity and inclusion, should you speak up? 1:07
What to consider before speaking up about diversity and inclusion issues 1:31, 5:41
Gauging workplace culture 1:52
Knowing your allies and advocates 2:54
The health impact of being an "only" 3:39
The consequences of not speaking up 6:18
How "onlies" can use their experiences to create better outcomes for others 7:53

About Starla Sampaco & Career Survival Guide™️:
I'm a Seattle-based video producer, speaker, and journalist. Early in my news career, I noticed a serious problem: Women and people of color face unique barriers to professional success, and many of us feel unprepared to face these barriers upon joining the workforce. In response to this problem, I created Career Survival Guide™️. It's a video series that helps early-career professionals, especially those of underrepresented backgrounds, navigate career challenges. Subscribe to my YouTube channel for more videos on career development, diversity & inclusion, and strategies for success. Learn more at starlasampaco.com/about.
