Workplace Trauma, Tone-Policing, and Racial Bias, What to Do? (Part 2)

It’s a fact. Honest conversations about workplace trauma are often avoided or even dismissed, especially when related to Black women and women of color.

In this episode, we continue to center the voices and experiences of Black women navigating workplace trauma, racial bias, and the unique challenges within higher education.

My guest, Ms. Ruth Abban, a psychotherapist who practices in the U.K., and I explore what workplace trauma looks like, how racial bias shapes opportunity and advancement, and the lasting impact these experiences have on identify, well-being and career paths.

This conversation is really for anyone committed to understanding, supporting, and transforming workplace culture, especially within academic and professional spaces.
