    How to Deal with Tokenism and Being the "Only"

    Being the only woman and/or person of color at work can be intimidating for a number of reasons. 
    It can cause you to:
    📍 Feel pressured to code-switch and not bring your authentic self to work.
    📍Refrain from speaking up and networking with others, causing you to miss important networking opportunities.
    📍 Internalize daily microaggressions which can shake your confidence to the core.
    And although it may feel uncomfortable right now, by reshaping your perspective you can overcome the negativity, anxiety, and nervousness...and step into your power.
    Listen in as I share my personal experiences understanding and dealing with tokenism and being the only - and a few nuggets of wisdom to help you take your career to the next level.

    Remove the Cape - How to Stop Being the Workhorse

    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.
