only bc she's black and only bc of race-preference woke nonsense that a black like her and you would be the CEO of a fortune 500.

It was an honor to meet her. She is a phenomenal woman!
She had the support of invested parents and she became an invested parent. It starts at home..........
She saved Starbucks So she deserves the same respect as everyone else. I’m so proud of her

Such a great story. Thanks for highlighting her. I remember how amazed I was when I read (some years ago) she was in an executive position at Walmart. She’s so inspiring.
I loved this interview with Roz Brewer! She is a way-shower in human skills. Walgreens is lucky to have her!

I loved this interview. As an Asian American female executive, I too have gotten those token comments. Ironically, to make it to the C-Suite, we had to work hard and advocate for ourselves to get noticed. Results shut up the naysayers.

ROZ!
I love that she went to an HBCU. I think she is a testament to how important these institutions still are when it comes to positioning members of the Black community to build successful careers and land leadership positions. I hope they continue to receive the financial support/resources they deserve.
She just makes me so proud because of the kind of person she is ! It's women like Roz Brewer , Michelle Obama, Meghan Markle who keep the hope alive because why want to help those who are trying everyday to bring about change ! ❤😷✌

You can't possibly put "all about ME ghan" in the same category as Roz Brewer. Not even close. Forget about the race card. They are of a completely different calibre and you certainly don't want to insult Roz, do you?👍🙏

@@mangafq8 I personally see the work Meghan did in Rwanda and India. Even amidst the orchestrated abuse and hate she has gotten from evil people, the girl keeps doing good. She is an inspiration to many. I love her dearly for standing up to her abusers, taking on an institution that everyone fears and still helping others. Get this, she has just started. Why mention race BTW? SMH.
Wonderful woman!
Can you put her name Roz Brewer in the title of this video?
Queen. Don't mess with a visionary leader.
Roz Brewer is EXACTLY the kind of person we need to put labor back into its place as the most important aspect of business.
Such a wonderful determined lady of great courage,. 👏🌹 yes teach a few people, Mary Canada 🇨🇦

Wow. I am completely inspired
So inspiring!🖤🖤🖤
This is how you make change! Be at the top!
You make your parents and your people PROUD!!! Thank You
So inspiring-
This interview gives me chills. Great example of leadership.
No woman becomes COO of a Fortune 500 company because of their gender or race. The industry is overrun by WM. Clearly she has the skills and education. Very inspiring, thanks for paving the way.
Awesome
Awesome, awesome story!
This is excellent. Imagery is so important, and not just for children and youth. Minority women also gain an increased sense of optimism by bearing witness to this level of success attained by an AFAM female. Her positive demeanor and earnest interest in seeing her efforts result in greater success for the company is laudable. I am inspired.

Very impressive leader!
If you are a white man and ever wondered if you are racist or chauvinistic, ask yourself how you respond emotionally to this video. This black woman is PRECISELY the opposite of cliche white male complaints about either. Instead of a golddigger, she's made a fortune for herself from very humble beginnings, not as a Insta model or beauty celebrity, but as a corporate executive. Instead of having a race-centered life, she has a business-centered life and just wants race to not dominate people's thoughts on her. Instead of being "lazy" or "too emotional" she's super poised and extremely hard working. If you don't like this woman, ask yourself what might be informing that dislike that doesn't deal with the content of her character.
you know she is so wonderful
I don’t usually comment not I’m in tears!
You go get them girl
Roz Brewer, her name should be in the Title of this story!
Thank you Roz Brewer for allowing other girls see that the sky is the limit. You are a blessing to corporate, and I look forward to seeing your growth and leadership make paths for the rest of us. 🙏💜🙏❤️🙏
YES MA'AM! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! YEAH!
Girl Power!!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Roz Brewer is the truth!
Successful. Works her way up and up. So...the story's about her being Black, a Woman, and successful. Can't just be successful? Even after all her hard work and concentration the "news" they choose is that she's successful while Black/Female. Do we ever want to get used to the idea, or all we all going to settle for the story-pumping? I bet she had A LOT MORE to overcome than being Black OR a woman (like most billion-dollar managers do). I respect the CHAMPION in her that overcame all the stuff this "TODAY" show left out on their way to another social study.
Beautiful
To be balanced and healthy, leadship MUST include women and men!!! MUST!!
Have her come fix CPS
