In this video, I share why I encourage Black women in the workplace to embrace intrapreneurship—treating your job like a business to build valuable skills on your employer’s dime. I talk about how I used my role in management to train future leaders, create succession plans, and develop tools like a career diary that helped others grow professionally. I also explain how these strategies prepared me for entrepreneurship and how toxic leadership often drives us to build something of our own. If you're navigating the workplace during the Black Women Rest Era, this video offers guidance on reclaiming your growth and planning your next move.
