Women of color mentoring and sponsoring other women of color can be meaningful and effective. It’s powerful to get support from someone like you who understands and experiences the same struggles.
“Women often tell me they get inspired when they see women in leadership roles and even more so when those women look like them,” says Christine del Rosario, a PwC Trust Partner. “It allows them to imagine themselves in a similar position in the future. To help uplift other women of color, it is critical to be intentional in how you choose to help.”
Most women of color want to advance in the workplace, but they are less likely to receive the mentoring and sponsorship critical for their career growth. When they get support, they are more likely to be mentored and sponsored by other women of color.
