People often understand racism in terms of blatant, overtly hostile behaviors and attitudes. At work, however, racism often takes the form of microaggressions, being ignored, being invalidated or talked over, being overly criticized, or having assumptions made about your abilities.
You should not have to experience racism-and it is not your fault-but the unfortunate reality is that many Black people do, especially in their workplace. And once you muster the courage to say something, what do you say, and when do you say it?
This empowering workbook provides practical skills for navigating and responding to anti-Black racism in the workplace. You'll find solutions that work for you and your unique situation, as well as tips for addressing interpersonal issues, setting boundaries, and attending to your emotional and mental health.
Whether overt or covert, if you've experienced racism in the workplace, you may feel trapped in a dilemma. How should you respond to an incident of racism?
This workbook offers essential tools to help you make informed choices about how to respond to racism in the workplace, assert yourself with confidence, and prioritize your own well-being.
