” Ballot Block Party”

Outside- Corner of Valencia Park/Malcolm X Library
5148 Market St, San Diego CA 92114
Featuring DJ Birdy Bird
Free Smoothie, Tacos And A Tee.
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
