Being the only women in the room
Being a woman you are confronted to bias all the time. It’s being the only woman in the room, and people assume that you are the one making coffee because you are a woman. It’s being denied the access to the boardroom when the person who was holding the position before you got access to it because it was a man.
As an Asian woman who’s been living in the West many times over the last decade, the most recurring bias I face is when people easily assume that I don’t speak English well enough to have proper discussion and conversation with. And this actually translates further to deeper assumptions that I may not have enough capabilities to be a well-versed and relevant individual in this world.
