Microaggressions towards black women at work

Research has established that 84% of people in minority subgroups face some form of microaggressions at work. This is more severe towards black women. Lenora Billings-Harris (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lbillingsharris/ ) and Kesavan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kesavankk/ ) will be discussing various types of microaggressions that black women face, such as: - Being asked to speak as a representative for a group of people like you. - Burdened to communicate in a way that feels inauthentic of who you are. - Needing to correct others’ assumptions about your personal life. - Hearing derogatory comments or jokes about people like you. - Being excluded from social events. - Receiving comments about your appearance We will also cover topics on how companies can address these.
