“The organization’s priority is to tell and protect its origin story at all costs. When a woman of color joins the organization, she tends to fit in as long as she upholds the story. However, once she begins to voice a counternarrative, or when she leads in ways the organization finds threatening, organizational forces push the woman of color out. She moves on, because she’s fired or because the environment becomes so toxic she has to leave for the sake of her mental and emotional health.”
