Passion, Not Aggression: Redefining Leadership for Black Women Inspired by Dr. Chanel Rice

In this episode, we unpack the double standards Black women face when their passion is misread as aggression in the workplace. Drawing on Dr. Chanel Rice’s research, we explore how systemic bias—not individual behavior—fuels these perceptions, leading to emotional exhaustion and imposter syndrome. Discover why challenging these biases is crucial for innovation, leadership, and organizational success, and learn actionable strategies to advocate for yourself and others. Let’s build workplaces where every voice is valued and passion is recognized as the leadership asset it truly is.
