Some of you may have been at the same company for years, I have actually consulted and worked as an employee for several Fortune 500 companies. The same thing happens no matter where I am, Black Women do not have each other’s back. Why do we compete with each other so much instead of collaborating to lift one another up? It is bad enough that the White people ask you to do so much more than others to get the same type of recognition. How often do you get passed over for a promotion to someone who is White and has much less experience? What about the Black Women who do make it through the gate and forget to leave it unlocked? Or do they forget? Sometimes it seems as though they hold the key and put it in a safe place so no one else will get in. Well, no one else who looks like them.

I am not saying that we are all like that, but there are too many who are. If we, Black Women had a unified front, then it would be a lot better for us all. . . even those who have made it to where they think is Euphoria. Why can’t we get together like the White Women and form unified groups who are not cliquish or isolated to keep some out. There are many Black Women only groups, but why can’t there be one? We discriminate against ourselves and wonder why White people feel like they can do it without cause, or just because.

It is time to get together and bond, mentor, and nurture each other. Let’s stand together in protest and protect one another from the Woes of the Workplace as a start. Cease Classism Protocol and see yourself in others. A word, a hand, a smile, a gesture of love and acceptance can be enough for the moment.  We can because Black Women are strong and have a lot of power. Just imagine what it would be like if we all stood together as one instead of separate as many.

Empower Women of Color, Black Women to be specific.

Peace.
