She realizes that her race and gender will make it difficult for her to achieve her goals.

Explanation:

According to the speaker, in every cultures there is a certain pre-conception among people regarding what considered to be appropriate and not appropriate for each genders to behave.

(Most of the societies in the world right now, tend to perceive Men as the one that has the 'duty' to provide for the family and the women are more suitable to play a supportive role)

This will start to alter the way people think from early age, and this will cause a lot of hindrance for them in their career. For example Having the perception that women are not suitable to be provider will make them become less likely to be promoted or trusted to have a leadership position. This restriction maybe even harsher if those women also a member of minority group.
