Why am I the only Black woman here at this offsite leadership meeting? 😩

People keep talking about how friendly and extroverted I am and how they love it but why do I feel like it’s a microaggression? Am I overthinking?!

Sis, I am leading a project that is all “us”. Earlier this week a young man told me I didn’t have right to ask why a deliverable is 3 days late. He yelled “stand down” at me like we are in the military. He work is consistently TRASH.

At you know what to expect….

Good luck

You are overthinking it. As someone who works not around us, others just aren’t as complimentary as we are to each other so you’re probably a breath of fresh air.
