Minority Perspective A Business Plus

Networking can and does open a seat at the table for minorities, panelists agreed at the 21st annual Black Business Students Conference, despite the fact that racism still exists in the United States.

"It's more subtle, but it's still here," said keynote speaker Kathryn Leary, MBA '77, president and CEO of the Leary Group, an international marketing, trade development, and executive training firm.

But Leary added that African Americans actually have an advantage in the global economy. "You're so used to being a minority in this country, you don't mind being a minority in another," she said. "You listen. You don't try to force your way on others."
