More about Lizette:
Career Psychologist for Executive Women in STEM who want to reignite their career, fulfill their true potential & have a balanced life. She is also a Professor at Texas A & M University.
Highlights of our discussion:
- Studies show that during the hiring process ethnic names are at a disadvantage when compared to traditional Anglo-Saxon names
- “We are all conditioned to have assumptions”
- “…recognize it and act on it without letting it affect you as much as you possibly control”
- Biases vary by industry – gender, ethnicity, and race are enhanced if it’s a dominant male industry
- Hair is a very personal thing and biases toward hair (like dreadlocks) make it personal
- The song “Signs” was referenced during our conversation showing biases toward hair is nothing new
- Location, area codes, are subject to bias because of where you live has a reputation
- Episode 42 was referenced because of the discussion on name bias
- Lizette shares several strategies on how people of color can find diverse, friendly companies
