ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
B The Way Forward is an action-driven conversation about systemic change—how it happens, who drives it, and what it really takes to make an impact. Hosted by AnitaB.org CEO, and battle-tested leader in tech and equity, Brenda Darden-Wilkerson, the show gives listeners the tools they need to step off the sidelines and shape the future themselves.
B The Way Forward Season 2 kicked off with a central question: do you change the system from within, or do you have to break it to build something better?
Now, in our second half of the season we'll celebrate something women often feel they can’t admit to in the tech world - failure.
Through candid conversations with leaders at the top of the tech industry the audience gets authentic, actionable advice that they can apply to their own careers.
Thoughtful, incisive and full of Brenda’s warmth and humor, B the Way Forward is human conversations in a digital world.
