Have you heard of 'onlyness'?

Available for over a year

The term 'onlyness' was coined relatively recently by Nilofer Merchant - an American academic of Indian heritage. It’s the phenomenon of how it feels to be the only person with a certain characteristic, perspective or life experience in a group - usually in a work setting. It can apply to a woman because of her gender, because she’s a mother, her ethnicity or background. What is the impact of onlyness and why does it matter? Jane Garvey hears from Chloë Davies, Executive Officer at UK Black Pride and Chloe Chambraud, Gender Equality Director at the Prince’s Responsible Business Network.
