If you're in a company that has valued you enough to consider you for a promotion, your hair probably isn't a dealbreaker. However, it could be a deal breaker for some people considering hiring you if they don't have their biases in check.

Interesting question. I honestly don't know. I have friends who have locs or natural hair but wear wigs at work or on zoom calls. They have done well in their careers but i think its because they are just really good at what they do. But i will ask them though if they feel wearing their 'hair straight' gives them an edge as far as promotion and compensation.

I am the only black woman at my job (small company - less than 50 people) and i wear my 4c hair in an afro pony. I had a blow out for an event that i wanted straight hair for and some female coworkers sympathized with me that it must have taken hours to straighten my hair. Point is i am accepted with my 4c hair and i am well compensated. Sorry for blabbing.

I know that it's not always that easy. There are still people out there who have unconscious biases against people with cultural hairstyles. But I think things are slowly changing. More and more companies are starting to embrace diversity and inclusion, and they're realizing that cultural hairstyles are just as professional as any other hairstyle.

How far into implementation and execution do you get as a strategist (and what's your specialty).

Just had an unclear moment where it seemed like I was expected to vet production partners and I didn't realize I should've .

I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
