You’ve heard of the glass ceiling...but have you heard of the bamboo ceiling? On Monday, I facilitated a special #IAmRemarkable workshop with @joyofjessalin in partnership with my holding company’s women’s initiative Omniwomen and the Asian Leadership Network in honor of Asian Pacific Island American History Month. Beyond empowering women to learn how to advocate for themselves and their accomplishments, we talked about how Asian women have to walk a very thin tightrope between two disparaging stereotypes: the submissive hard worker (“Lotus Flower”) that gets taken advantage of, and the overly aggressive “Dragon Lady.” Both stereotypes lead to less Asian women being promoted to senior leadership positions. So what can you do about this? Speak up for yourself. Make allies and advocates. Track your accomplishments. Support other Asian women. Cut the tightrope. Know your worth. #APIAM https://www.instagram.com/p/CAbkY57D_9L/?igshid=1s92db4tgs7m9
