THE ENERGY WITHIN US
Book Reading
August 6, 2020
You’ve heard of the glass ceiling. It’s the barrier holding women back from breaking through to the highest echelons of corporate America. A few women are promoted to those power seats, but the realm of leadership in America’s top companies remains mostly male–and mostly white. If striving for success in that reality weren’t daunting enough some women face an additional barrier: the black ceiling.
Think about how difficult and disheartening it might seem as a black woman aspiring to excel and transcend to a corporate leadership position when the glass ceiling and the black ceiling loom ahead in a historically white male energy industry.
We are five African American female executives who have achieved all of the above. For this book reading we will have the authors: Hilda Pinnix-Ragland, CFO of AHK Global Resources; Rose McKinney-James, Managing Principal of McKinney-James & Associates; Telisa Toliver, GM of Chevron Pipeline and Power; Carolyn Green, Managing Partner of EnerGreen Capital Management; and Joyce Hayes Giles, an energy industry executive with over 35 years of experience transforming organizations’ customer and philanthropic performance.
