  • Thank you!

    I’ve recently returned back to work after maternity leave, the team I was in did not value me and listening to the podcast has helped me to learn my value, advocate for myself and set boundaries that are working for me and my child. I’ve now been offered a new remote role in a new organisation that will work even better for my work/life balance.

  • Diary of a mad black woman.

    I used to enjoy listening to the podcast but quickly came to realise there’s only ever one explanation for everything.

    The speaker comes across as angry and particularly aggressive when engaging with messages from listeners.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Net Is Not Working ( Networking)
Q: What should you do if a potential employer asks for proof of your current salary?
Toya advises against sharing such private information, urging individuals to walk away from employers who make it a hiring requirement, as it compromises their confidentiality and negotiation power.
The Net Is Not Working ( Networking)
Q: How do you feel about networking events that are targeted towards the Black community?
Toya suggests that while they have their place, many do not effectively represent organizations that Black professionals want to enter, and often miss the mark by focusing too much on social events rather than meaningful networking.
