AskthePRGirl Presents: I’m Not Yelling
BLACK WOMEN AT WORK
The “angry black woman” trope, bias and microaggressions that plague Black women in corporate have levied an undue level of emotional trauma while building a career. While the social reckoning after George Floyd’s murder in 2020 triggered widespread investment in diversity, equity and inclusion, the subsequent corporate fatigue from accountability to the moral imperative has introduced increased performance scrutiny, predatory behavior and retaliation specifically against Black Women in the workplace.
THE FACTS
Media reports and research studies reveal disproportionate treatment and unbalanced expectations to outperform, code switch, and create culture comfort due to the threat of opportunity loss, or punitive action, leaving many feeling alone, frustrated, trapped, and hopeless.
THE PURPOSE
I’m Not Yelling is an empowerment movement and community designed to provide inspiration and healing for executive and entrepreneurial Black Women. My mission is to provide safe space to share our experiences, learn best practices from leaders (and each other), offer professional development resources and reiterate the importance of mental health support along the journey. Together, we will find strength in community, walking hand-in-hand (with allies) toward equity in the workplace. It includes:
