For many of us, being black at work is exhausting. We avoid wearing our hair in certain styles to avoid ignorant questions and even requests to ‘touch our hair’, we leave our house with our face on backwards (word to Cole) and have to code switch our way through the day.
Every day, we battle microaggressions, unequal opportunities, negative stereotypes and downright ignorance. This year, the world began to ‘listen’. Corporates and organisations released statements about how they were standing with black communities, yet true change within organisations is still yet to be seen. Black employees are still yet to truly feel supported during what is truly an exhausting time.
Join us for our third Black at Work Zoom call 19 Nov, where will be dicussing the below.
TOPICS:
- How you can speak up and advocate for change in our workplaces
- How to move beyond biases and grow in your role
- How to approach difficult and unfair situations
- Protecting your mental health and space

What’s #BlackMRX Chat? Think of it as a monthly industry networking group organized around our shared ethnic identity and profession in the insights and research spaces.
We invite professionals and students who identify as African American, Black, or of African or Caribbean descent in the insights spaces to join a monthly, private group discussion where we build community while talking about issues of importance to us as black and brown individuals.
In each session, we’ll chat about a specific topic while leaving time for open discussion and networking.
December 2 Agenda: To be announced
You do not need to be a QRCA member to participate. And #BlackMRX Chat isn’t just for consumer researchers – whether you’re a UX researcher or a sociology grad student, a strategist at an ad agency or a research consultant, client-side marketer, an academic or you work at a focus group facility, we look forward to connecting and building a supportive Black community with you.
See you soon,
