Black Women Working

With so much going on in the world it can be difficult to speak openly about things that are happening at work especially matters around race. In this episode we discuss what it means to be an activist at work and the different forms activism can take. Thanking you for your continual support, we hope you enjoy.

For this 'Let's Talk About It' we have teamed up with a fellow Black Woman Working, Cheryl-Lyn Bentley of the Break Concrete Podcast. Break Concrete Podcast centres on the experience of Black Women Working in the States and we are discussing the B-Words: British Culture, Black Lives Matter and Burnout for us and in comparison to our stateside sisters. We chat about how the current events ranging from remote work, coronavirus lockdown, and racial unrest lead to burnout, and how some of these issues are showing up and impacting Black women in the U.S. and the U.K. We also take a look at the difference in work culture between the U.K. and U.S. and Black women professionals can find a happy work life balance.

Oh! Yes we are back again, we just can't stop talking. In this spin-off episode we are continuing the conversations bought by black women in show business over the last few weeks, discussing both racism and sexism in the workplace.

It's been a while but we are back with a 'let's talk about it' segment and the BWW team are discussing reparations after two large companies announced that they will be allocating a specific budget targeted at BAME initiatives, following the spotlight being on the Slavery Compensation Act amidst the #BlackLivesMatter campaign.

First and foremost, thank you for all of your ongoing support and welcome to those who are new to the BWW Podcast. It's the final episode of the season and we definitely couldn't predict the nature of this conversation. Taking an assessment of current times, we discuss where we are at in our own working lives during quarantine. Importantly for us, we consider the ways in which COVID-19 and the surge of the Black Lives Matter Movement can offer an open for real change moving forward. As always shout out to our production family at the Selby Centre, can't wait to see you all again. Connect Email: [email protected] Social Media: @BWWPodcastUK Website: www.blackwomenworking.com
