Similarly, this year’s Fortune 500 list had only 24 women running the country’s most powerful companies, with only two women CEOs of colour on the list. It’s worth noting, there were no Black women on the list at all. This, of course, has roots in the fact that Black women have more trouble securing funding , on top of dealing with rampant racial discrimination in the workplace . And though most women deal with sexism and gender bias at work , when you add a racial element it’s clear why representation at the top isn’t what it should be.
