Navigating the Workplace with Melecia Munroe
Manage episode 366555858 series 2542799
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you had to switch up your accent to fit in with the cultural dynamics of two different Caribbean countries? Today, we have the pleasure of chatting with Melecia Munroe, who was born in Belize and whose mother is from Jamaica, as she shares her unique experiences growing up between these two Caribbean cultures.
Navigating the workplace as a woman of color can be challenging, and Melecia shares her journey of maintaining her identity while tackling issues such as colorism and representation. Through her experiences, we discuss the importance of showcasing diversity in positions of power and how her appearance played a role in some of her opportunities. Melissia recounts a moment when a colleague's comment on her hair made her realize the need to address these issues head-on.
But how do we ensure that all voices are heard in the workplace, regardless of titles or positions? Melecia emphasizes the value of open dialogue and cultivating an environment of genuineness and authenticity. We also touch on the benefits of remote work, the rise of side hustles, and share practical tips to help you align yourself with your desired industry.
