She was often given less challenging assignments, and she was passed over for promotions in favor of less qualified white men. McPherson also faced racism and discrimination from her colleagues. She was called names, and she was made to feel like she did not belong.

Despite the challenges she faced, McPherson persevered. She worked hard, and she eventually earned the respect of her colleagues. She also became a mentor to other African American women in the company. McPherson's story is a testament to the power of perseverance and resilience.

She is a tireless advocate for diversity and inclusion, and she is making a real difference in the world.
