Clare Muscutt talks with Shameem Smillie about race, gender, & becoming who we really are.

It is a fact that the privilege we were born with affects our
chances of success. Not just our socio-economic status, but the
colour of our skin, our sexual orientation, and gender all have
the potential to be benefitting or limiting factors, due to the
oppressive systems that govern the world at large.


 


It’s interesting how some people manage to succeed no matter
where they start in life, or what knocks them for six on their
journey. Whilst others are beaten by the odds. But what is it
about the individual that tips the scales?


 


Through my conversation with today’s inspiring Woman in CX, I was
able to see clearly that one of the determining factors is the
drive of the person, and their ability to use any limiting
opinions from others as fuel to propel themselves and others
towards betterment.


 


Listen in to the incredible Shameem Smillie and I discussing the
feminist intersection between race and gender as she shares her
journey to becoming her authentic self.


 


From a tough childhood being raised with an absent father and
being one of the only mixed race-kids at her town, to dropping
out of school at 15 in order to earn money Shameem didn’t let
anyone or anything hold her back from building the life she
wanted and a successful career as a woman in tech. Get ready to
be inspired!
