It's sad when you see black C Suite leaders get on stages and preach empowering black women and whose mission is steeped in "inspiring" black women, but behind closed doors, they don't even say a simple "thank you" to the black women who support them and treat them poorly.

Man…This sounds specific. And sorry that’s happening to you. Just keep learning and growing so you can be the leader to set the example for others. 🔥

Very much so. I've definitely learned some things from this specific experience.

Oh mannnn, don’t get me started! I just had to quit a job because of toxic leadership. It’s all BS!

Unfortunately, that is typical the "look at me. I made it I the backs of others, but won't name or thank them -- nor will I lower the ladder to help anyone else up behind me. But hey, look at me, I'm great." Is rampant in Black female leadership. Toxic.

It is typical and it’s truly devastating. One of us Black women have to make a change and set an example.
