Far too often Black women are expected to be on the frontlines for every battle against social injustice — on top of being mothers, providers, and working professionals.
Our guests Shawnee (a social worker) and Erin (a mental health professional) talk about their toil and challenges as Black women in corporate America in the midst of international uprisings surrounding social and racial injustice.
On this episode, we touch on code-switching, work culture, and ageism, among others things.
Enjoy!
