To be unprofessional isn’t always a choice, let alone a liberating one. Because when the system was never built with you in mind, speaking up and challenging the status quo comes with great risk and privilege – and it’s something Black women had to learn very early on.
The brilliant Dr. Tieren Scott joins me this week for a raw and honest conversation about what it means to be Black in the world of work. She generously shares her experience of professional masking, the exhaustion of code-switching to appease others, and what it feels like to mold yourself within a misaligned system, while carry the weight of your community on your shoulders.
This conversation is a vital reminder that some professional masks weigh heavier than others, and why choosing authenticity over palatability is a radical act of unprofessionalism.
