Host Brenda Darden Wilkerson is joined by speaker, author, founder, and DEI advocate, Yai Vargas, in this episode of “B the Way Forward.” Yai's big belief that “women are the heart and soul of an organization” rings true in everything she does and stands for. Yai tells Brenda about her personal journey as a woman from the Dominican Republic who immigrated to the United States at an early age and realized quickly how important it was to connect with her Latin roots. After landing what she thought was her dream job, Yai opens up about her disappointment when noticing the gap of diversity in her workplace. She tells Brenda that executive roles need to be more representative of the US population – only about 5% of corporate board positions are held by Hispanics. This experience led Yai to make a professional career change, pivot entirely to the world of DEI, and build “The Latinista,” a national network for professional Latinas and women of color invested in skills development and career mobility. Yai is known as the “LinkedIn Networking Ninja” and together, Yai and Brenda discuss the importance of community and how to use your own network to bring people together.  “We all start from somewhere. And even though some corporations have been around for 150 years, it's our journey of figuring out how our business is evolving with the inclusion of what demographic is going to work with us, in our community.” For more, check out Yai and the Latanista ...

In honor of International Women's Day, Kay Fabella will be hosting a variety of subject matter experts to uncover real experiences of women at work on the Inclusion in Progress podcast. Each guest will cover different topics of concern for women in the workplace: from bias towards trans women, gender equity and cultural identity, the gender pay gap, as well as miscarriage, fertility loss and menopause. This episode covers a wide range of things that women are facing every day at work, and how organizations that are committed to gender equity can support women from across the spectrum of experiences!    Many people think that the conversation about gender equity at work revolves around maternity policies and caregiving. But the reality is that companies that want to truly support women's advancement in the workplace must consider the real, often “hidden” experiences that many struggle to disclose to their employers.   We all have a part to play in making the workplace a more inclusive, diverse and psychologically safe place for everyone, and the advice from our guest experts will broaden your perspective and offer a wealth of actionable ideas to support and sustain female representation and gender-inclusive workplaces. .    In This Episode: [2:56] What's happening in the world today with gender equity at work? [5:47] How can organizations support women of color at work? - Ashanti Bentil-Dhue and Yai Vargas [16:30] How companies can support allyship for trans and non-binary women and intersectional identities in your company. - Celia Sandhya Daniels [7:53] The impact of menopause in the workplace. - Julie Dennis [28:32] Supporting women with pregnancy and miscarriage in the workplace. - Rachel Parrott   [43:03] What is the importance of visibility for women and their career progression? - Gemma Stow   [45:53] How do we close the gender pay gap? - Michelle Gyimah Links To download our 2021 Future of Work Culture whitepaper, click here.
