Have you ever experienced workplace trauma?

 

Many of us normalize trauma in the workplace and live under the idea that we should be grateful to have a job, even if we feel personally attacked and undermined by our counterparts. We ignore signs of racism, sexism, microaggressions and other forms of inequality, and we brush our feelings under the rug to avoid conflict or correction. 

 

Today on the Redefining Wealth Podcast, we sat down with Minda Harts, Professor at NYU Wagner, host of the live weekly podcast - Secure The Seat, and award- winning and best-selling author of The Memo: What Women of Color Need To Know To Secure A Seat At The Table, as well as her latest book, Right Within: How To Heal From Racial Trauma in the Workplace.
