EP 240: The Math Ain’t Mathing - With Guest Anita Miller
Hey y’all, it’s Brig. This one is personal. Equal Pay Day just passed—and it’s not a celebration, it’s a correction. A reminder that Black and Brown women are still months behind in earnings, every single year. This episode is for every woman who’s been grinding, staying late, over-preparing, and still being undervalued. I brought in the powerhouse Anita Miller to help us go deeper—not just into the numbers, but into the language of worth. We’re not just talking about the wage gap. We’re dismantling the silence that keeps us underpaid.
In this episode, we unpack:
Why Equal Pay Day isn’t a holiday—it’s a reality check
The disturbing math behind racial and gender pay gaps
How communication—not credentials—is often the barrier
The Power Language Method and why it’s a game changer
The hidden ways we shrink in negotiation and leadership
Why AI could widen the gap even further—and how to prepare
How to move from “doing more” to strategic influence
Why internal safety is a leadership skill (and yes, it’s contagious)
Anita doesn’t hold back—and neither do I. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, underpaid, or unsure how to advocate for yourself, this episode is a must-listen.
🎧 Ready to evolve and command your worth? Press play. Then share it with a friend who needs to hear it too.
About Anita:
Anita R. Miller, MBA, PMP is a power strategist who discovered why qualified professional Black women stay stuck despite their credentials—and created the only system that fixes it.
After 20+ years in corporate leadership spanning risk management, project management, and supply chain, Anita identified The Leadership Language Divide™: the gap in access to language of leadership and the price paid when you don't know it. While other experts focus on confidence and visibility, Anita saw that the real barrier was language—professional women were speaking like employees when they needed to sound like executives.
Through Power Speaks Your Name™, Anita teaches The Leadership Language Trifecta™ that closes this divide. Her system shows women how to stop speaking like they work there and start speaking like they run it—especially crucial as AI increasingly analyzes workplace communication patterns.
With 750+ professional women transformed through her frameworks, Anita's pattern recognition abilities allow her to see workplace shifts and corporate failures before they become obvious. Her mission is clear: teach professional women the language that positions them as decision-makers, not just high performers—so they control resources, shape strategy, and change systems from positions of power.
As a sought-after speaker and thought leader, Anita challenges conventional wisdom about women's advancement. She believes the time for hoping qualifications will speak for themselves is over—now women must learn to speak with the authority their expertise deserves.
