More than Ready: A conversation with Cecilia Muñoz on the rise of women of color

“In her new book, More than Ready: Be Strong, Be You … And Other Lessons for Women of Color on the Rise, Cecilia Muñoz shares what she’s learned about toughness and kindness; surviving and setbacks; and balancing work and family. She will join Jennifer Blatz, president and CEO of StriveTogether, and women of color from StriveTogether’s network for a frank conversation about wielding power to lead change. Sign up here to join the conversation on Tuesday, June 16.

As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, diversity and inclusion are more important than ever to ensure an equitable recovery. Decision-makers in every sector are beginning to realize that when there aren’t women of color at the table where decisions are being made, they are missing talent and undercutting their capacity to understand the people they serve. Change is coming too slowly; success will take deliberate effort. Muñoz has words of wisdom and encouragement for young women of color on the rise, and suggestions for would-be allies in positions of power.

Muñoz and Blatz will be joined by a panel of women leading during these unprecedented times in sharing stories, lessons and advice for women of color who are more than ready to lead and their would-be allies in positions of power.”
