Thank u so much Rebecca for articulating the double standard when it comes to vulnerability in the workplace. I too work in a snake pit and being vulnerable around white people is like bleeding in a shark tank. They constantly misconstrue our vulnerability as an attempt to run game and get ovah. That is because in their eyes, we are still seen as chattel and as tireless work horses to be run into the ground. The supposed "safe spaces" they claim to offer are just danger zones with better lighting. Just know you are not alone. I am there with you. Feel free to message me so we can share our experiences. Much love.
