It ranges from comments about your hair to having your education and experience minimized to being excluded. Micro Aggressions are prevalent in workspaces and Women of Color are often the targets of the behavior. Micro-Aggressions are delivered in several ways and are easily categorized. Constant exposure to micro-aggressive behavior affects one’s wellbeing which includes mental health. It also contributes to the deterioration of a professional work environment. We know, that when addressing microaggressions, supervisors may ‘blame the victim’ attributing the problem to the recipient. Supervisors may also ignore or minimize the concern causing the recipient to feel isolated and alone. In Part 2, we will lay a foundation for addressing microaggressions by providing an overview of mindfulness, helping you to understand mindfulness practice and value of a mindfulness lifestyle. We will then share strategies for using mindfulness principles to address microaggressions.
