Race Reflections AT WORK

The only person of colour in the workplace

March 07, 2022 • Season 1 • Episode 24

In today's episode Guilaine responds to a listener query about strategies for navigating situations where you are the only person of colour or marginalised person within the space. She reflects on her own experiences of this dynamic and considers issues such as representation, isolation, assimilation, scapegoating, hyper-visibility, invisibility, tokenisation and internalised racism. And she suggests some approaches for individuals and organisations to mitigate these harms including finding, creating and supporting networks, communities and mentorship.
