Part of the unfortunate everyday reality of living in many modern spaces is the unconscious display of ignorance that is often shown to people of color. Yes, we’re talking about microaggressions. In today’s Solo Session, host Ugochi Onyewu talks about what microaggressions are and gives examples that she’s experienced in her career.

Ugochi also discusses how to handle microaggressions. She shows how you can identify microaggressions, how you can respond, and whether or not to give it your energy in the first place. As a woman of color, you may not have a choice on whether or not to experience microaggressions, but you can choose how you protect your energy.
