For those of you wearing natural hair or protective styles at work, how do you handle the constant comments or questions? Some days I brush it off, other days it just feels exhausting. What’s helped you keep showing up authentically without feeling like you have to explain yourself all the time?

Some days I let it roll off, other days it just drains me. What’s helped is finding a couple people at work I can vent to when it gets heavy. Having even one person who “gets it” makes a huge difference in feeling less alone.

Hi Fishes, I was hired by Optum as Tableau Developer in June 2021. One year passed and I was just doing support and maintenance work on Tableau dashboards (no new development). Now the company wants me to work on Power BI and convert all dashboards into it. I want to make my career in Tableau and I don't want to work on Power BI as I find it hard as compared to Tableau also less interesting. My last company also does the same thing so I left that company within 6 months. Optum
Can someone help?

For these remote companies where I don’t have connections how can I transition over?
