I wrote this for Black professionals that feel unappreciated at their workplace due to racism and systemic oppression. It is my hope that this guide supports you in your journey towards maintaining your sanity as you continue to ‘push the ceiling further away from the floor’. It is imperative to note that you are amazing, and your Blackness is a gift to this world. I pray you remind yourself of this every time you encounter racism wherever you are. You deserve to be here. Please do not forget that.
