In her forthcoming book, The First, The Few, The Only: How Women of Color Can Redefine Power in Corporate America, Deepa Purushothaman lays the groundwork for how other women of color can redefine success on their own terms. Farnoosh and Deepa discuss ways to push back against toxic messaging—including the things we tell ourselves and how to let go of the extra burdens and excess work WOC take on for companies in the name of culture building. Learn more about Deepa on her website.
