    How to survive a Toxic Boss
    What a great episode! I felt comforted after listening to it. For some time now, I have not allowed myself to accept the signs of how my boss was treating me and my colleagues. I knew deep down that it felt like bullying. This episode confirmed those feelings and reassured me that I am on the right track to exiting this situation. Thank you so much, ladies, for sharing your wisdom.

    Awesome insights for BIPOC women, men and Allies

    Made Me Feel Seen
    This podcast gave words to a lot of things I’ve experienced, felt, and even thought during my time in corporate! I remember when I started I thought I was just crazy, but as time has gone on I’ve learned a lot about how to navigate as a black woman in the workplace. If you are looking for inspiration and practical tips, this is the podcast for you!

    Really good
    This is one of the podcasts I really love to listen to each week, and I just have to say that today’s episode about “rusting out,” along with the perspective that the hosts are sharing is giving me LIFE. More specifically it is giving me the gift of new spot-on language and frames, which is the greatest gift of all for me. Oh. My. Goodness. Thank you for this.
  • Heartcoresam
    Addicted!!
    I recently discovered this podcast and I’ve already listened to SOOO many episodes. It’s authentic and so many of these experiences have lived in our daily lives but have not been talked about, unpacked, let alone broadcasted. I appreciate this podcast so much!!
  • Dee0402
    Exactly What I Need!!
    I LOVE this Podcast! It has helped me realize and acknowledge my self worth and caused me to be empowered to write and speak my own narrative!! I was recently told that my position required that relocate back to our company’s headquarters. I refused and am leaving the company after ~18yrs!

    Finally!
    A podcast that speaks to me, where I am, what I experience, what I need to move forward. Tons of practicals, easy to implement and fierce, all in one! Thank you!

    New listener 2023
    The advice was excellent but overshadowed by Miya’s constant praise and expressions of gratitude to Dee. As a brown girl in leadership I always told my staff that I don’t respect that. Show me by showing integrity and if you make a mistake, I’ll help you. I’m going to try another episode though.

    Long time listener first time reviewer!
    I get my Life with this Brown Girl Table Talk. Seriously. I pop on my headphones and walk to work with all this goodness in my ears. They shed the light, they unpack the myths, They really spill all of the Tea. As a black woman i literally feel like i’m at the table. Verbal responses and all lol. If you know whats good for you, you’ll subscribe and upgrade yourself. Thank you both for living in your truths.
  • khudda
    raw and real
    Dee and Mita are having those conversations publicly that so many WOC are having privately in isolated and isolating settings. Really appreciate that this podcast is shedding the necessary light on critical issues for WOC.

    Such an Excellent Podcast
    As a WG ally here, I am incredibly grateful to get to join Dee and Mita at the Brown Table each week and to get to listen in on their conversations. I so appreciate all of their real talk, their many mic drop pieces of wisdom, the stories of their lived experiences they so graciously share with us, and their courage in sharing some vulnerable moments with us, as well. Dee and Mita know what it takes to walk the talk, and their podcast is so, so valuable!! Give it a listen.

    Great Podcast!
    Being a part of the corporate world for many years, this podcast is so spot on. I think it’s about time women of color are speaking up on adversities in the workplace and this podcast is robust and full of helpful insights on how to tackle the issues.
  • ~Dr. Pat~
    Thank You!
    You two are voicing and bringing to the surface all the challenges Black, brown and women of color face in the workplace. I’m so glad you are in a place of position and power to share these topics and empower women while truth-telling.

    We (White Women) Need More of This…
    Mita and Dee unpack hard truths in a clear and kind format. They give great tips and lift others up. Worth a listen!
  • Greatesttttttttlovee
    Allies listen in!!!
    If you wonder why “race” is *always* brought into conversations - listen to episode 9 but also ALL the episodes! I urge you to ground yourself, open your heart and LISTEN to what Dee and Mita are saying and then BELIEVE THEM. Keep spilling the tea for us ladies!
  • Lizzylkl
    MUST HEAR PODCAST FOR WOC
    This podcast is amazing. These ladies are talking about topics that impact women of color everyday, but they don’t stop there. They offer solutions and ways to handle these uncomfortable situations in a professional way while still calling out racism. Thank you for this podcast as a young Black women entering the business world this is much needed. I have learned so much and y’all have validated a lot of my experiments by sharing yours.
  • seaofwhite
    Allies take notice
    Great call to action here on getting people of color confused with one another. As a white woman, I venture to say my reasons for getting people of color confused occasionally is 1 . Under exposure and not enough friends in that sub group ( for instance, Phillipino women) So I am unconsciously generalizing, not observing deeply. 2. Fear of stepping on toes, so I don’t ask questions I normally might, such as “ What got you interested in working here? Love that suit. Who’s the designer? What do you like to do for fun? Etc. 3. In a picture that contains only redheads, I can only see a bunch of people that look alike. I’m pretty sure it must be like that for brown folk regarding us…occasionally…so how about we work just as hard at individuating and including as they have to?
  • Maliamaliers
    Fantastic podcast - highly recommend
    I never write reviews for podcasts but this one is so exceptional I feel compelled to do so. Every episode resonates with me and each is so applicable and relatable. I love the way the show is structured, love their chemistry, appreciate their chosen topics and content. Excellent podcast for both WOC and allies, alike. Highly recommend!
  • Felipe Teix
    Emphaty lessons!
    Different perspectives make us grow and enhance our empathy skills. The hosts have significant experience and so much to share! The way the conversation flows and how they speak about everything makes it a must-listen and delightful moment for reflection!
  • Liz-Taylor
    Thank you giving us a voice !!

    Feels like you’re talking to two of your besties
    This podcast is so much fun to listen to. It feels like you’re talking to two of your besties, while also learning some incredibly important gems of advice in the process.
  • CuordellaTerra
    Much needed
    a place to “spill the tea” - with personal stories and practical take-away tips summed up at the end of the episode. I loved “I clench the pearls.” Keep ‘em coming, and the 20 minute length is just right for average attention span.
  • Venketsamy
    You both are amazing!
    I am a new listener, and I have two teenage daughters who are listening in too! When we are listening and you describe a scenario that I experienced it makes me cringe. Even though it is not easy to be vulnerable in front of my kids, we pause the podcast and discuss it. As a mom of brown girls, I don’t want them to make all the mistakes I made. Listening is preparing them with the words they will need for their future. As a daughter of Indian refugees out of Uganda, I thank you for the generational shift that you are responsible for!!!

    What a safe place for woman to come and be more empowered to thrive in the workplace. Thank you for creating this venue for all women.

    Feeling Seen & Heard
    I love how Mita and Dee are using this platform to call attention to these sensitive, but critical, conversations. As a woman of color, I’m exhausted. Sometimes, I don’t have the words to share with allies on the best ways to support me in my career and why it matters. This podcast helps me understand how to package and communicate what I’m feeling.
  • INFJMama
    Love this podcast!
    I was so pleased to listen to this podcast. Being a brown (South Asian) girl myself, I was totally able to resonate. Keep up the great work!
  • So-T.
    Focused sessions
    I enjoyed the relatively short and bite-size episodes that are topic-driven and solutions-focused, along with the transparent talk with little sugar-coating.
  • Mira Brancu
    Relatable and practical
    Fantastic, relatable stories, spot-on, practical tips, all in a relatively short format - love it! As a woman and immigrant I could related to the experiences. As a white person, I also appreciated the helpful recommendations for how allies can help!
