In this powerful episode of the Busy Moms Get It Done podcast, host Esther Shittu sits down with Medina Wright, a top compliance manager and the visionary founder of Black Girls in Corporate. They dive deep into the often-unspoken realities of motherhood and the corporate world for Black women.

Medina shares her personal journey, revealing the sacrifices she made and the hard-won lessons learned as a working mother. The conversation is a masterclass in building a fulfilling life, emphasizing the crucial need for community, self-care, and advocacy in the workplace.

If you're a black woman navigating corporate life while balancing the demands of family, this episode will leave you feeling seen, empowered, and ready to redefine what's possible for your career and your family.

• Community is Crucial: Find or create a supportive network of other Black women in the corporate world. This "village" provides a space to share experiences, challenges, and successes without judgment.

• Set Clear Boundaries: It is vital to establish firm boundaries between your work and home life. This includes things like not answering emails after a certain hour, blocking out time on your calendar for personal appointments, and taking your full vacation days.

• Prioritize Self-Care: Your well-being is not a luxury; it's a necessity. Self-care can be anything from a few minutes of meditation to a weekend getaway. It's about recharging so you can show up as your best self for your family and your career.

• Advocate for Yourself: Don't be afraid to ask for what you need. This could be a flexible work schedule, a promotion, or simply a seat at the table in important meetings. Advocating for yourself also helps pave the way for other women.
