Episode 103: Alexis K, DEI advocate, Vol. 10

Who Got Next? The Podcast

In honor of Women's History Month, I wanted to discuss Black women working in corporate America. Most executive roles or positions that require somebody to be the face of their company are not people of color. Not saying all of them fall in that category, but the number isn't as high as it should be. In my opinion, the last couple of years we have seen a shift in corporate America focusing on how to tackle diversity in the workplace. Another big question is how do companies that are in the minority compete with bigger companies to land contracts with them? Let's meet Alexis K, DEI advocate for Turner Construction in Charlotte, NC. Her role is to ensure that small minority businesses are prepared through engagement and training. On our sit-down Alexis talks about her journey in her field, the power of networking, and the joy of providing opportunities to the small fishes in a big pond and will continue to do so. Also, here is fun a fact about Alexis. Did you all know that she is training to get her pilot license? #WhoGotNext #CLTure
