Remove the Cape - How to Stop Being the Workhorse
Have you ever felt like a "Black Workhorse?"
This term refers to when a racist leader piles extra work and responsibilities on Black and Brown employees.
Why?
Because in their eyes, you're not human, you're Black. And therefore, you're "built" for carrying a heavier workload.
This dehumanizing attitude towards Black and Brown women in the workplace can lead to burnout at higher rates than their white counterparts.
In this episode, I share how I successfully stopped being the workhorse.

You try to speak up about issues such as discrimination or sexism, but you're told that you're being "too sensitive" or "exaggerating" the problem.
