[Part 1] - The Courage to Create with Ngozi Cadmus

Oct 9, 2025

In this episode, I sit down with the revolutionary Ngozi Cadmus, TEDx Speaker, Psychotherapist, and CEO of the UK’s leading anti-racist mental health platform. Ngozi brings her unique global majority (BIPOC) lens to a raw conversation about the "why" behind the struggles of Black and Brown women in the workplace.

 
We dive deep into:
 
The Unseen Trauma: Ngozi shares her personal journey, revealing how issues like colorism, functional depression, and the mammy/strong Black woman trope create a deep, internal barrier to professional success.
 
The Threat Dynamic: We explore the reality of how Black women often transition from being the "pet" to the "threat" simply by standing in their confidence and truth.
 
The Diversity of Disparity: Ngozi powerfully validates that the barriers are not a monolith—whether you face racism, bias, or microaggressions from within your community or externally, all experiences are valid and must be addressed.
 
The Collective Solution: We emphasize that moving forward requires us all to appreciate our different roles—the fighters, the solution creators, and the advocates—to drive equity.
 
This first part lays the crucial foundation of awareness and validation, setting the stage for Part 2, where Ngozi will reveal the actionable tools, including why AI is the great leveler for achieving cash flow and future-proofing your career.
