  • Summary

  • Hey Gems!! Welcome back to Diamonds from Darkness, the podcast where we prioritize mental health, healing, and empowerment for Black women. I’m your host, Syrie D, and we’re diving into a topic that so many of us have experienced—navigating microaggressions and racism in the workplace.

    Have you ever been told, “You’re so articulate,” like it was unexpected? Felt the pressure to straighten your hair or code-switch just to be taken seriously? Worked twice as hard for half the recognition? If so, sis, you are not alone.

    The workplace can be a battlefield when it comes to race and identity, and the emotional toll is real. In this episode, we’ll break down:

    💎 What microaggressions are and how they impact our mental health

    💎 How to cope with racism and discrimination at work

    💎 The importance of setting boundaries and protecting your peace

    💎 How we can advocate for more inclusive work environments

    I’ll also be joined by my good friend Shay, a Black woman and Senior IT Director in corporate America, who will share her firsthand experiences and wisdom on navigating these challenges.

    Sis, your mental health matters more than any job title, paycheck, or corporate approval. Let’s get into it.
