Known by her peers as a premiere executive, Amani Duncan has successfully navigated through various industries from recorded music to manufacturing, often being the first female African-American in the positions she has held.
“My biggest professional challenge was earning my rightful ‘seat at the table’.”
For those who may not be familiar with this phrase, having a ‘seat at the table’ means having a position and a voice amongst the senior executive within the organization where you are employed”, says Duncan, “But once we are at the business table, it is our responsibility to pull up a seat for others.”
Duncan launched the platform "Girlfriend, No Need to Ask” to help professionals successfully navigate their careers, learn helpful tips and find inspirations to be their very best at work and in life.
