Scenario

When business partners experience discrimination differently based on their identities

My co-founder and I are both women but she's white and I'm Latina, and when investors or clients dismiss our technical expertise, she doesn't seem to notice it the same way I do, and it's creating tension between us about how to respond and whether it's even happening.

More people experience this than they realize.
