Scenario

When business partners misread each other's racial positioning

My business partner keeps making assumptions about how I experience things as a mixed Black and Asian person, especially in client meetings, and I don't think they realize how much they're projecting their own ideas about my racial positioning onto our business relationships. We work well together but this blind spot is starting to affect our partnerships.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Professional partners must address how assumptions about mixed-race identity are affecting their external relationships and internal trust.
