No, I Will NOT Fix My Face

In this episode, inspired by VP Candidate Senator Kamala Harris’ debate performance, Felicia breaks down how we can curtail the feedback and microaggressions around our facial expressions.

We have to stop spending emotional and mental energy on ensuring our coworkers are comfortable with our existence and how we simply take up space in the workplace. Using our energy in this way is traumatic and detrimental to our mental health. It has to stop and we have to be proactive in preventing the use of our mere existence and stereotypes to justify mistreatment in the workplace.

S4:Ep 26

My Open Letter To WellsFargo’s CEO

In this episode, Felicia shares her own testimony of when her own job search tactics don’t work, proving that sometimes, you just hit a Black Woman wall. But that’s okay because it ALWAYS works out!

That is really to point of this episode. To give you an example that no matter how bad they treat us, they can’t stop all the blessings coming to us! No matter how hard they try.

Please be clear, the murder of Breonna Taylor is just yet another call to action for us all to continue to fight in every way we can. Our humanity will not be denied. We will survive and THRIVE in all things in all places!

Please take care of your health and preserve your energy.
