ESPN: The "Only" Women in the Room

Many of us find ourselves in meetings where no one else there looks like us, but we are not alone. This Circle's mission is to bring ESPN Women"Onlies" together to discuss our various experiences across multiple demographics and most importantly support one another. Why is this important? About 1 in 5 women say they are often an "Only" during work meetings, compared to only 5% of men who say the same. Women who are "Onlies" report having a notably difficult experience at work. They’re far more likely to experience microaggressions. They are more than twice as likely to be asked to prove their competence, and over three times more likely to be mistaken for someone more junior.
