What happens when a Black woman asks legitimate questions, shows up competent, and suddenly gets labeled “the angry Black woman”?

On this episode of She Don’t Work Like That No More™, host Norlander Wilson sits down with Angela McCullough, an executive identity architect with more than 30 years of experience in corporate aviation, to unpack the stereotypes, workplace expectations, and leadership norms that shape how Black women are seen at work.

Angela shares why fitting into spaces that don't respect you isn't the answer, how Black women's leadership gets misunderstood, and what it takes to stop letting other people define your identity. She also opens up about leaving a toxic workplace that no longer aligned with who she had become, and recognizing when it’s time to choose something different.

If you've ever been called “difficult” for speaking up, felt pressured to shrink yourself to fit in, or questioned whether your workplace is still worth the cost, this episode is for you.

Watch the full episode and join the conversation.
