We encounter them frequently as professional Black and Brown women, sometimes even daily.

Microaggressions shatter our confidence, causing us to question our abilities and self-worth. In our efforts to prove ourselves, we may also face burnout.

How do we overcome microaggressions and avoid burnout? How can we cultivate the resiliency to bounce back stronger when we encounter discrimination in the workplace?

However, your approach can either make or break your negotiation efforts.
