I have experienced workplace trauma at every job that I have had. It's kind of "normal " for Black Women to endure. Comes with the job. Years ago I would just try and bury how it really affected me. But I woke up and boy have I roared. I have learned to use my voice for change. It has been received as being confrontational, aggressive, angry, having an attitude, and being difficult. Mind you, I do not walk around upset or angry at all. No one would ever know that I am angry by looking at me. I do not give anyone the satisfaction in "making me go off". We all know that is the true intent when attempting to label Black Women. I have learned to get my point across without anger or loud tones which is very difficult for the perpetrators to comprehend. They need to see anger so that we can be publicly labeled and to say, "See, I told you that she is an angry person ". I was physically attacked my a white female nurse on duty, however the white male nursing supervisor wrote me up for having an attitude and being difficult. At another workplace, because I refused to participate in gossip, a grass like substance was placed inside of a work department locker that had my name on it. I had never used the locker but it was placed there in an attempt to scare me, to harass me. It was reported to department manager, security removed it from my locker, and I notified the union. I eventually left the job however before leaving, I contacted HR to find out the outcome the the investigation. Lol, the Black Woman as the head of human resources told me that the investigation was unfounded. What? The witnesses were never interviewed. I did not want to stay and fight. I was ready to move on. That job had cost so much mental and emotional stress. I decided to choose my sanity and to leave. Fast forward to my current place of employment. As an employee, I was never into trouble. I worked over and beyond and never written up for behavior problems. Yet, I was seen as being a trouble maker because more favorable employees didn't like me. Currently, I am at the center of something so egregious. Unbelievably unlawful acts by administration. I have no words. It is so difficult to understand why white employers would continue to mistreat a Black Woman through acts that are a direct violation of my Civil Rights. I am confronted with this reality and choosing my next step. I mentioned to a colleague that I am so exhausted but I shall not allow this to be swept under the carpet. We need change. We need to come together for that change. The time is NOW.
We have experienced a lot of the same things. Pls save your soul and protect your mental health by getting a work from home job or a job where you are out in the field or go into your own business. I've worked at over 20 different workplaces & they have all been toxic, where demon bullies thrive on destroying kind hardworking humble people.
Yts are psychotic here in America and most yts don’t care unless it’s affecting them or their kind! I’m not delusional and I can only speak facts! ❤
After shaking a bottle of pop, and not opening the cap, from the outside, the bubbles (indicators of agitiation) settle down and appear to go away, BUT, the pressure from the agitation remains, it does not subside until it is addressed/released.
Unresolved pressure within the content (within people) creates a volatile condition/person.
The release of the pressure/tension has to be controlled to prevent damage and/or waste of time, energy, and resources.
This is the plan of those who practice racism.
Every job.
I found you through looking for people who didn’t agree with Brene brown… because it seems like everyone loves her.
I’m glad I found you.
As a white woman I think it’s important for me to understand all of this as well.
I didn’t even know red-lining still exists. That blows my mind.
Thank you Dr. Yazeed
Yep, redlining is still a thing
I have shared this video so many times because I love it!❤ Thank you 💯
Thanks for sharing!!
@@DrCareyYazeedTV I am going to share this with another co-worker. She did not have a good day today and I think if she watches this, she may have a change of heart
This dude is actually complimenting black women without even realizing it. I’m so tired of these conversations. I own my own home and I’m single. Best decision that I’ve ever made. I bought my first house six years ago and now I’m on my 2nd house. I made a lot of money selling that house and I’m comfortably living off of my profit. Black women I’m so proud of you!!! Keep going!
