Schemas, My Daughter and IWD 2023

While I’m a little late to post this on International Women’s Day, my intention in posting this at all is to highlight the challenge that Black girls have in school before they even grow into women where they’ll encounter similar challenges in the workplace. And while we can’t altogether stop our cognitive biases, we can take steps to mitigate them by learning about them, slowing down our decision-making processes when we’re in situations when we know we could be prone to bias, and collaborating with people who are different from us.
