About this episode
This episode discusses the impact of insecurity in the workplace, particularly for Black and Brown professionals, and offers strategies for thriving in such environments.
In this episode, we talk about the subtle and not-so-subtle ways insecurity shows up in the workplace. Especially, for Black and Brown professionals who often face an added layer of bias and microaggressions. From passive-aggressive emails to credit-stealing and gatekeeping, we’ll explore how these behaviors impact your career and mental well-being. You’ll learn strategies for spotting insecurity early, protecting your energy, and responding in ways that keep your dignity intact. This is about thriving, not just surviving, in environments where other people’s insecurities try to dim your light.
