"Therapy and other wellness resources can be a valuable tool for surviving a challenging or toxic work environment, but what really needs to change is the #workplace itself." #QOTD https://t.co/YLnW4OvMgd

Signs of performative #allyship:

1. When a company has a lack of #diversity at the top.

2. When a company doesn't track diversity metrics.

...and more. https://t.co/iOvCWBkx3v

Black women face biases and challenges that White women do not. The reason: Because they can experience mistreatment based on the intersections of #sexism AND #racism.

Every person needs to know the term #Intersectionality. SHARE for #BlackHistoryMonthUK. https://t.co/NIuPSq3CZe

Check out our new @cnbc @CatalystInc survey that reveals the frustration of workers--particularly of working parents. @CNBC @CNBCTechCheck

[CatalystInc @CatalystInc]

1/ NEW: According to a Catalyst-@CNBC survey, more than 7 of 10 #employees (76%) want their company to make #work permanently flexible in terms of schedule and/or location.

However, their desire for #FlexibleWork is being met with a conflicting message.

“I'm convinced of this: Good done anywhere is good done everywhere. For a change, start by speaking to people rather than walking by them like they're stones that don't matter. As long as you're breathing, it's never too late to do some good.”

I'm overwhelmed by the response to this tweet, which I wrote while howling in bed. Since you're here, I am raising funds to support underrepresented scholars in my field. If you'd like to help me make my fundraising goal that would make my❤️swell.

Today Is the day I tell my son that I’m dying from cancer. It’s reached a point where he has to hear it from me. Let all my tears flow now so that I can be brave this afternoon. Let me howl with grief now so that I can comfort him.

The beautiful owners of Hogan's Valley Clothing donated the profits of my purchase to my fundraiser!!

Teenage boys with progressive attitudes about gender are less likely to be violent, study finds. (Teenage boys with progressive attitudes about gender are much less likely to bully or use violence than peers with rigid, traditional views of masculinity.) https://t.co/Tw9UCRyRv1

[Brené Brown @BreneBrown]

When I find myself in tough conversations,
when I am being held accountable,
when I am called to unlearn, relearn, or just learn —
This is my mantra.

It’s been a game-changer.
Less armor. More learning.

[Brené Brown @BreneBrown]

Damn. My dear friend @GilbertLiz sees me. Her journal pages may need warning labels.

I had the same gut-punch-bear-hug feeling when my therapist told me that I needed to work on my "Let go and let Brené" approach to life.

Ouch and thank you at the same time. ❤️
