The Power of Black Women at Work

This week I’m speaking with Lisa Cockrell, a payroll diversity and inclusion expert, and the Senior Payroll Lead at Radio Flyer. Lisa is passionate about public speaking, which stems from her experience as an orator during high school. Lisa speaks about the power black women possess and how the corporate world can cultivate it, which was the topic of her DisruptHR talk last year. She shares insights into the experience of a working black woman, and the “superpowers” we have to offer. One such insight is the dichotomy of black women having to juggle two worlds: our world, which we leave in the car, and the world of whatever environment we are in, in which we immerse ourselves.
