so obviously we all must play the game of conformity to some degree in order to survive corporate America

Make sure ur speaking "properly", enunciating ur words , being "positive" and bubbly etc.

but I try to make sure I bring some element of who I really am to the workplace . Especially when it comes to interactions with my black coworkers ... and I'm not afraid to do it openly

Calling my male counterparts "king", my female counterparts "sister" or "sis" ... and they embrace it and love it. A couple of them have even started doing it themselves . 🥰🥰

And I'm never shy about talking about the neighborhood I'm from if that type of convo comes up. Southside Jamaica Queens all fucking day.

Right before Christmas , the company organized a carol sing along mess that was held on Zoom. One of my black coworkers had to message me on the side like "watch ur facial expressions!! Ur cracking me up! "

Bitch I was legit sitting there looking like :udontlookok: while the girls sang these boring , drawn owt piano ballad ass Holiday songs . Like when are we gonna speed it up a bit? Dbdbdb I needed some destiny's child or SOMETHING

I totally forgot I was on camera dnndndndnd Nd ndnfnndndndbdbdndnddbbdb :plzstop:

I think that was the first time I really FELT white privilege. Like I know it exists but that was the first time I FELT it. My black ass sitting there not knowing ANY of those songs while Karen and Bill were having the time of their LIVES .ndndndndndndbbdbdbdbdbdbdbdbbdnd


This is a really good episode of TGV that focuses on "being black in corporate America"

and release the appearance of being percieved a certain way
