Re naming names. Lots of people in media & publications are naming & shaming, and calling out workplace environments toxic for people of color. I went through some shit at my prior workplace and after a lot of reflection it’s become clear to me it was race based. I’m working through what actions I can take to address this - any thoughts?

Write it down and share it. I’m confident others with stand up. I had an issue and thought I was the only one. I wasn’t. But I only found that out because I started talking about it. You will see people will be saying me too. That’s how ‘me too’ turned into a verb that started to scare the industry straight. No one wanted to be “me too’d” because they’d be done. Game over.

Perhaps some kind of presentation or conversation (with receipts) with the decision-makers, framed as an ‘audit’ meant to help the company not get their reputation ruined?

Document your conflict and your actions to resolve it. If this does not change the situation, come with receipts to HR.

I left a job before knowing the right actions to take, and completely wish I had done all of the above.

Ok. I know that social media has made a lot of AAVE slang popular. I get that. What I find cringe is the obsession with using it 24/7 and the assumption that adding "lit" or "that's cap" or "slay" to things will make them do numbers. Someone in a meeting this morning suggested we use bffr and said it means "best friend for real." Like at least research the term before you try to use it.

My agency is opening up applications for a DE&I Committee leader for the first time. This person will be responsible for overhauling how the agency approaches diversity, including employee training, internships, new business model and client communications. However, the role is a voluntary one-year term with no extra pay or incentive. There is no budget for this person to be trained themselves. How are your companies handling new diversity leadership? How should I voice my concern?
