Is Time for a Change?
Feeling Undermined? Are you TIRED of navigating work policies and management decisions that undermine your autonomy?

I invite you to take a moment ~ right now ~ to honor the wisdom of your heart-mind and gut-brain by acknowledging that ENOUGH is ENOUGH.
FULL STOP.
Take a breath. Take a beat. Relax, relate, release.
Understanding Work-Identity Integrity Violations
You aren’t being too sensitive or demanding. Your expectations aren’t too high. Trust me, it’s not you. And, unfortunately, it’s not ONLY you. In fact, it’s so “not us” that it has an official label: work-identity integrity violation.
Work-identity integrity violations refer to situations where an individual’s professional identity or sense of self in their work role is compromised, contradicted, or challenged by workplace conditions or dynamics.
Sound familiar? Sounds like a toxic workplace…

Reclaiming Your Agency
Reclaiming your agency is the ultimate act of empowerment. For too long, Black women have navigated spaces where their voices are stifled and their choices limited.
Let’s change that. It’s time to take back control. By reclaiming your agency, you assert your power, enhance self-worth, and drive both personal and professional growth.
Claim your space, sis, and step into your full potential. You deserve more. You ARE more.
