This is really an issue. Your own experience is supported by multiple tests and studies. I’m going to ask a recruiter at my agency to contact you for an interview.

Yea I know it’s just that this experience is something we know was a reality but outside groups have the privilege to live in denial. If we keep these stories to ourselves their denial just gets more and more confirmed. Will removing her name from the post help?

@ AD1 I actually hadn’t even considered that she might get harassed, which is a real possibility. In which case, it should definitely be scrubbed of her info I was more thinking that - and you’ll have to pardon the battle-worn, tired, cynic in me - but it’s not going to help change anyone’s mind. In fact I predict she (we?) will only be disappointed in how people will twist themselves in knots to justify, excuse, and defend. I’m over it. She should save herself the heartache. All that to say: you’re right but I’m ..... tired

SCC1 I totally get it I do... but that's how nothing gets won/changed ever. MLK and Mandela and Obama didn't get tired or peace out.. Somebody somewhere somehow needs to keep going

like

@SCC1 I’m there with you. It’s exhausting to the point of wanting to ditch this industry. But i think I’ve just accepted that it’s folks like us that will have to just accept this struggle in our careers so that a later generation won’t have to. So yea I’m just a cynical about it but maybe there is hope for the future?

like

@SDP1 I’m sure some of them would like to do more but I think unfortunately these organizations have to focus on the positive. Does anything this is even perceived as combative might cause a backlash in in donors and other supporters. Is just part of the gross invisible racism in which POC in these spaces have to resist showing any anger even if it’s justified in order to not be perceive or defined by that anger.

Yes! That’s why I started working for myself and collaborating with other POC

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.
