Appropriated Value: Why You’re Doing the Work But Not Getting the Promotion
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when excellence is expected… but authority is denied?
In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, Dr. Ebony Stone sits down with Dr. Rehva Jones to unpack a reality too many Black women know—but haven’t always had language for.
From a childhood moment that shaped her life’s work to groundbreaking research on “appropriated value,” Dr. Jones breaks down how systems extract brilliance without reciprocating power, pay, or promotion.
This episode will challenge how you think about:
- Leadership
- Hard work
- Corporate systems
- And what it really takes to advance
💥 Key Takeaways You Don’t Want to Miss
- 💡 “Appropriated Value” defined:
⚠️ Why working harder is NOT the answer (and may actually be the trap) - 📉 How AI is amplifying bias through what Dr. Jones calls “weaponized neutrality”
- 🚫 Why highly qualified Black women are being filtered out before interviews even happen
- 💸 The hidden cost of overperformance, overcredentialing, and student debt
- 🤝 The difference between mentorship, sponsorship, and advocacy (and why you need all three)
Dr. Jones doesn’t just name the problem—she gives strategy. Do NOT miss this episode!
