According to a 2019 survey of 4,005 professional women, nearly half of black women are frequently or always the only person of color in a professional situation. Black, Latin and especially Asian women said they seek support at work from people of races other than their own.
only white women said they seek allies from within their same race.
That survey from Women of Color in Business: Cross Generational Survey and part of the new book, “A Blessing: Women of Color Teaming Up to Lead, Empower and Thrive” by co-author Bonita C. Stewart.
