So where did that post come from? What were you thinking when you were writing

that? It came from a place where I, at that point, I'd never actually...

worn my braids in the boardroom.

I always would revert back to my short or straight hair.

And for the first time, and I must have been about 41 at the time, for the first time, so 20 years into my career, I felt comfortable with being authentically Rachel, wearing her hair in her natural state.

And I think what people don't realise is that as a woman of colour, we really do think about how we show up in the room.

We think about how we present ourselves.

You know, what what does that mean? You know, and especially then what's the network? How does the network support the creation of safe spaces?
