The pandemic has led to job changes and opportunities for many, but women of color still feel like they are competing with one another for scarce opportunities.
While this might be the case, it is important for women of color to uplift one another and show their support for one another in the workplace.

Pilar Ramos, EVP, General Counsel & Corporate Secretary at TelevisaUnivision, said women of color can support one another by embracing the fact that “we’re representing a broader demographic, whether we like it or not.”
