microagression

Every conversation you have at work is an attempt for someone to sell you on something. They may be trying to sell you on doing their work, or maybe their serving up microagressions that sell you on the idea that you're different and that's a problem. No matter what it is that their selling my question for you (Black Women) is what are you selling them or are you being sold?

This week, we discuss the role Black Women have played in respect to selling in the workplace, why we've been at a disadvantage, but also why it comes easiest to Black Women.

So, in this episode we ask what does it mean to be racially unsafe at work? It means for the most part knowing that at some point or another you will experience subtle hidden racism. Racial risk in this instance is the ‘threat in the air’, that a microassault is around the corner, and that you, perhaps a Black male are yourself a ‘forever threat’ in the professional setting and other spaces as well.

In this episode, we interview LSC students Dustin Blacketter and Cheyanne Warner about finding community at LSC and in the Twin Ports.  This is the first in our series exploring the LSC tagline, “Our Community’s College.”
