- Jimi Okubanjo is the director and producer of “Arise Firebird” documentary. Jimi worked in the corporate setting for many years before creating her own film about workplace trauma. She, and many others, have been affected by the traumatic experiences that take place in workplace settings that often go unnoticed, uncared for, or brushed away. In her talk “Understanding and supporting others with workplace trauma”, Jimi encourages us to learn more about trauma in the workplace and how to take action to help those who experience it. Across her 20-year career working in leadership roles with Global Fortune 100 corporations, Jimi Okubanjo delivered transformations in 14 countries and four continents with over 200 leaders.
Jimi produced the documentary film ARISE FIREBIRD due to her deep multi-industry experience and her first-hand knowledge of what senior and experienced female leaders of color often face in the workplace. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thought provoking conversation indeed. Thanks Jimi
The hardest part about living through a toxic workplaces, being discriminated against, and being demonized is how your experience can be so bizarre other people have a hard time believing it hearing about it, because it's crazy how some human beings act. It affects your entire life, and it's something that as this intelligent strong and brave woman said, can take years to recover from, especially if you don't have support from family/friends, and may not be able to seek professional help. It's not a good feeling
Thank you Jimi 🤍
Thank You x
I feel like the only way to escape is to go out on your own
What about survivors or even witnesses of toxic military culture and trauma?
Also, military vets of color who never reported their symptoms and challenges until later in their professional lives extremely to the point where actions of leaders and execs now trigger them? Curious to see and hear more about this issue.

When will society open their eyes about narcissistic abuse
The solution is a political one. You can watch as many documentaries as you want or even do trauma therapy. You might even heal. You'll, however, get retraumatized once you get rehired. The system is broken because there's no legislation to prevent C-PTSD.
