Have you ever worked in an envrionment where you felt you were a specimen to your colleagues, constantly under a microscope being judged about your ADS (Attitude, Dress, and Speech), even your hair?!

These are microagressions that we often experience in the workplace, and sometimes they don't always come from our white counterparts though, sometimes, "it be your own people."

In this interview with author Rahkal Shelton Roberson, we get down to the white meat about discrimination, wage gaps, biases, toxic environments, self-worth, boundary setting, and community building.
