157: All About Great Girlfriends, with Sybil Amuti

Today is International Women’s Day, which is 8 days into Women’s History Month. So it’s no surprise that we are here with Sybil Amuti, the founder of The Great Girlfriends platform, to talk about friendships, community, and so much more, especially as it relates to women.

This conversation was also a great reminder of two things: (1) we have women in our lives 365 days out of the year, not just 31; and (2) it’s important to include ALL women when we talk about women, as sometimes (and you might have caught this from the title of our show) that definition of women seems to include only White women. So let’s jump in.

What to listen for:

• The need for there to be groups that support women of color - like Great Girlfriends!
• How to process the impact that the pandemic has had on relationships, and how we can all begin rebuilding friendships as we navigate through a rebuild
• What White women should think about as they develop cross-racial friendships
• Trends Sybil has seen in corporations and their commitments (or not) to DEI
