Blackness and the Workplace w/ Jessica Pharm

I am not comfortable educating you!

We are not all educators and should not all be expected to be. I love talking about boundaries because they make it so easy to see how harmful people truly are after setting them.

Thank you so much Jessica for reminding us of the boundaries we are allowed to set!

In this episode we discuss:

-Why Blackness in the workplace is different

-Knowing that it's not you, it’s them

-How documentation is key to being safe

This episode is full of gems! One thing Jessica encouraged in the episode and I’ll encourage here again is to listen to understand not to react. Tune in today!

The ✨key words✨ for this episode are:

Anti-Blackness

Aggressive

Microaggressions

I encourage you to look up the definitions of these words and compare them to the definitions you carry with you. If you need help comparing please let me know.
