Being Brown at Work

Most people I speak with say they avoid workplace politics at all costs. However, I genuinely believe that avoiding them can be a major career stumbling block.

Realistically speaking, politics are part of workplace culture, and the political components of the workplace affect your progress, regardless of your position.

This doesn't have to be a bad thing. There are ways to take advantage of the positive aspects of your workplace's political culture.

Listen in to this episode to discover the best ways you can manage this.

Have you ever been urged to "tone it down" or asked why you "have so much attitude"...even when you weren't angry at all?

Black and Brown women encounter these types of situations on a daily basis. They're called microaggressions, which are regular, subtle, purposeful — and frequently inadvertent — exchanges or acts that express stereotypical beliefs about oppressed groups.

I have experienced microaggressions many times in my career. I was once told I was "too passionate" to get a vice-president role. I was being stereotyped. And it was incredibly frustrating.

So when microaggressions rear their ugly heads, how do we address them?

Are you constantly worried about how others perceive your words and actions?

Being overly self-conscious and self-critical can negatively impact your self-confidence. Therefore, it's essential to consider that your self-confidence can dramatically affect how others see you, as well. But how does one truly begin to know themselves, independently from the opinions of others?

Listen in as my special guest, Monique Wells, and I discuss the importance of knowing yourself and not through the perception of others.

Monique is the director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for DTE Energy and is responsible for accelerating DTE's progress in building a workplace where everyone feels valued and able to contribute their best energy toward serving our customers, communities and each other.
