Episode Description

Why do we struggle to be treated with respect in the workplace? Why do we, as Black women, feel like we have to constantly prove our worth, expertise, and value? It is a constant fight for us against being disrespected, devalued, unseen, and unheard. Using DEI language is just not enough! Let’s talk about it.

Show Highlights:

Why the myth of the “Angry Black Woman” is because we are covering up our hurt, frustration, and annoyance
What it feels like to be micromanaged and questioned in the workplace–day after day
How disrespectful comments about our hair, and even attempts to touch our hair, catch us off guard
Why the extra stress of dealing with disrespect causes our physical illnesses
The value of fun and self-care routines to help us deal with “life”
Why we need to immediately call out people for their offensive and disrespectful behaviors
How daily positive affirmations can help us realize that the problem isn’t with us
Join us for our next adventure in Annapolis, Maryland, on October 7: Chillin’ on the Chesapeake
Why we have started BAI Entertainment, LLC, a Black- and woman-owned company to promote adventures and positive, uplifting interactions and events
