About this listen

Start 2025 with a powerful conversation about what it really takes for Black women to reach vice president roles at major banks—and what they do with that power once they get there.


Meet two trailblazers breaking barriers in banking:


Tiffanie Rice - Regional VP of External Affairs at Comerica Bank, Certified Diversity Professional, leading corporate responsibility and DEI initiatives


Terri Thomas - VP of Business Development and Community Manager at Chase Bank in Texas, pioneering financial empowerment programs to close the racial wealth gap


WHAT YOU'LL DISCOVER:


How to navigate corporate America as a Black woman and actually advance to leadership


The reality of banking careers for women of color in 2025


Strategies for succeeding in male-dominated industries


How banks are (and aren't) addressing the racial wealth gap


Building wealth and community simultaneously


Career advice for aspiring Black professionals trying to break through


Leadership lessons from women who made it to VP—and what they wish they knew earlier


Whether you're aspiring to leadership, building your career in finance, passionate about social equity, or wondering how to use your platform for systemic change—this conversation delivers actionable wisdom.


This is what making history today looks like.
