Misogynoir in the Workplace

Race Reflections AT WORK

In today’s episode we explore misogynoir in the workplace and the power and positionality of the Black woman in the corporate world. Misogynoir, a term coined by Moya Bailey in 2010, identifies the intersection of Black women and "the persistence of sexist and racist biases in both media and politics, and the unique blend of both that black women experience." Engagement and Comms lead, Dionne discusses her understanding of the issues in the corporate world, whilst reflecting on some common coping strategies, her own experiences, and the likelihood of more Black women using digital platforms as a way to ensure their voices are heard if they are not in the activist or influencer sphere.
