About this episode
You walked into that review with receipts. You ran the relationships, trained the people who got promoted over you, covered someone's maternity leave for free, and showed up every single time. And what did you get? A 2.5% raise and a smile. Dr. Renee is here to call that out for exactly what it is, and more importantly, to tell you what to do about it.This episode is part of the NoBS Wealth Black History Month Series, and Dr. Renee does not hold back. She brings the data. She brings the framework. And she brings the kind of real talk that comes from someone who lived it, worked through it, and came out the other side knowing her worth. When a Black worker earns 84 cents to every dollar a white worker makes, that is not an opinion. That is the math. And the math is why this conversation matters.Dr. Renee lays out a three-part framework that will change how you show up at work: Value (if you can't quantify your impact, you can't negotiate), Visibility (stop being the best-kept secret in the building), and Leverage (options change everything, even if you never use them). This is not motivational fluff. This is a real playbook with a real case study, a client who got her title corrected and a 22% raise in 60 days.Stoy also goes there on Gen Z, calling out the flip side of the conversation. Knowing your worth matters. But if you haven't put in the work to back it up, that's a problem too. This episode holds everyone accountable, no matter what generation you fall into.The hard truth Dr. Renee leaves you with: shrinking is not a promotion strategy. If you don't advocate for yourself, someone else will price you. And it will be lower than what you deserve.
