A Traumatic Job Search: “I Was Rejected for Embodying Company Values”

Chad Sanders, author of Black Magic: What Black Leaders Learned From Trauma and Triumph, was asked during an interview with Brené Brown what he learned after interviewing 15 powerful Black leaders, scientists, artists, activists, and champions. Sanders responded: “Faith.
