Women of Color at a Crossroads: Experts Warn that Ignorance is Dangerous in the Age of AI

Dr. Daryl D. Green and Dr. Marsha Herron highlight the impact of AI on women of color at the 2025 Perry Publishing & Broadcasting Women of Color Conference.

KNOXVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, March 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As Women’s History Month comes to a close, the future of women of color in business and the workforce is at stake. AI is no longer an emerging trend—it’s disrupting industries, eliminating jobs, and reshaping entrepreneurship. At the 2025 Perry Publishing & Broadcasting Women of Color Conference, two nationally recognized experts, Dr. Daryl D. Green and Dr. Marsha Herron, delivered a powerful session titled “The Power of AI: Transforming Business and Creativity.” Their message was clear: AI will either be a tool for empowerment or a force of exclusion—depending on who has access to knowledge.

This critical discussion follows their recent presentation, "Small Business and Entrepreneurial Trends: Pathways to Success," at the OKC Black Chamber Small Business Conference, where they warned that business owners and professionals must adapt to AI-driven economic changes—or risk being left behind. “Women of color are the backbone of most organizations,” says Dr. Herron. “Some people might call us ‘dangerous.’ If we have access to AI innovations, Women of Color are empowered to navigate the future on their own terms. With layoffs on the rise due to the threat of AI-driven automation, Dr. Green and Dr. Herron outlined the urgent need for Women of Color to understand and leverage AI tools.

The AI Revolution: A Wake-Up Call for Women of Color
“We are at a crossroads in this country,” warns Dr. Green. There are disruptive forces all around us, and ignorance is a dangerous thing. Dr. Herron and I want to prepare emerging leaders for success. Understanding AI, business, and market trends is no longer optional—it’s crucial.” AI is reshaping business models, automating job functions, and redefining what it means to be successful in a career. However, many professionals are unaware of its direct impact on their job security and economic future.

3 AI Trends Women of Color Need to Know
🔹 Job Displacement is Real – AI-driven automation is projected to disrupt 23% of African American jobs by 2030, disproportionately affecting women and younger workers.
🔹 AI Can Be a Career Multiplier – Women who upskill in AI-driven tools will have a competitive edge in leadership, business, and creative industries.
🔹 AI is Reshaping Entrepreneurship – AI-powered automation allows small businesses to compete with
large corporations, reduce costs, and increase efficiency.

A Call to Action: Take Control of Your Future
Dr. Green and Dr. Herron urge women to take control of their digital presence, career strategies, and business innovations. AI can be a threat or an opportunity—and the difference lies in knowledge and action.
