@drnicolerawls: To believe your oppressor means you operate differently when you have to be in their house. Don’t feed it more of what it wants, which is your pain, trauma and blood. What does it look like to play back as the oppressor has been playin in our faces? #story #education #indigenous #culture #drnicolerawls
That’s kinda my philosophy about working in corporate America. I see billion dollar companies as my sugar daddy

No wonder why I felt so uneasy whenever they ask about my family journey. I don’t like to identify myself with the trials I went through, I’m not a victim no more.

When I first started my corp job an elder told me never tell them your struggle. If they own a house you do too! I always remembered his words, our transgressions are for us.

A WORD! In colonial spaces, make focus on one's interest and the journey of your logical minds interest. Colonials do not understand personhood the way we do and so never feed it your personhood.

Beautiful advice to give someone. Don't let them take your story from you. Get what you need, get that shit, and bring it with you back to where you know it matters.

play the game. you don't have to be your most authentic self especially if it's just going to give them more access to you and give them reason to traumatize you. use them for their degree and their prestige.

the essay thing is so dumb. there should just be a minimum requirement as far as GPA and then the gov ensures there are enough universities to meet the applicants

Solid damn advice. Even in the corporate world, I think SHRM’s temporary dei visions have tricked a lot of folks to think the playing field was leveled. Truth is closer to what you said

I don't really know how to translate that to an action step. like I agree. vulnerability is not safe in those environments. so I hear people say Grey Rock and to me that's just like suppression to be honest that's actually now I'm absorbing the energy. I hear people say document and then it does nothing like HR doesn't listen or care. I hear people say be patient and wait and you do that and then you waste your whole life because they are not ready to listen. so like there doesn't really seem to be a way to win. The system already thought of that that's why they delay and ignore. It doesn't seem like the solution is located within them. I mean it's a great idea but what does the plan require? what is the action step? what is the solution?
