Customer Reviews
Male nurse in North Carolina
"I can relate to everything Jojo is saying. As a nurse in North Carolina, I have experienced a lot of discrimination. I love being a nurse, but unfortunately, the career field does not love or support people of color. It is very sad that in 2021, discrimination in the workplace is still an everyday thing. I have learned to keep my guard up now and not get close to anyone in the workplace."
Love this show!
I wish I’d found this podcast sooner. It’s such a relief to have our stories heard!
I’m not alone
In a career field where I sometimes feel I’m walking through this journey with frustrations no one else feels… Werk Stories reminds me I’m not alone. I love hear from other women, women of color and how the navigate this world. Thank you.
