EPISODE OVERVIEWS
Episode 1: Is There a War Brewing Against Black Women's Success? - Following the June 2023 Affirmative Action ruling, Karen and Brittany analyze opposition to race-based decision-making in venture funding, discussing how these legal actions impede progress on systemic inequalities and impact vulnerable groups. They also consider how organizations can strategically respond, using these challenges to demonstrate leadership resilience and create marketing opportunities.
Episode 2: Why Is the Corporate Ladder Still So Steep for Black Women? - In this episode, Karen and Brittany discuss the latest research, revealing significant barriers for Black women in Corporate America. They address the widespread underestimation and stereotyping of Black women and how identity politics influence their career paths by drawing on real-world examples.
Episode 3: Has Marketing Leadership Truly Achieved Gender Parity? - "This episode questions the apparent progress of women holding 51% of Chief Marketing Officer roles versus only 1% of female agency owners. Karen and Brittany explore representation discrepancies in the marketing and advertising sectors and highlight the need to examine biases and structural barriers that maintain gender disparities.
"As Black women, our unique voices are often unheard and underrepresented, a consequence of systemic inequities that tend to silence or overlook us, along with other historically excluded groups. 'The E Word' leverages our collective expertise in marketing, legal, and leadership to highlight equity's vital role in catalyzing social and economic transformation and how Corporate America can harness its considerable power and influence to deliver impact that drives profit, builds customer and employee loyalty, and supports brand purpose," says co-host Karen McFarlane.
