🎙️ Welcome to Thriving in Intersectionality – The Podcast

Hosted by Dr. Lola Adeyemo

Welcome to the Thriving in Intersectionality Podcast—a space created to amplify the voices of professionals whose stories too often go unheard.

This podcast explores what it means to navigate the workplace with layered identities:
🌍 Immigrants
👩🏾‍💼 Women
🎓 First-gen professionals
🎙️ Ethnic minorities, and so many more.

In this introductory episode, I share the why behind the podcast—why it started, what it stands for, and who it’s for. As an immigrant, a mom, and a workplace inclusion strategist, I know firsthand that success in Corporate America is about more than qualifications. It’s about culture, identity, and community.
