Don't let anyone convince you there's anything wrong or unprofessional about a Bermudian accent because do people think that when they're in their international business meetings with people from all over the world with thick accents?!?
No.
Also FYI, Kerry Washington has said she wouldn’t have starred as Olivia Pope in Scandal if the president were Black. This was around the time of Obama’s campaign/election, and she felt that moment was too important to risk compromising her relationship with the Obama administration. That context matters.
I watched Supergirl today, and I agree. Milly Alcock was great as Supergirl and I prefer this messy and more complex version of her than if they just made her a female version of Superman.
@CarikaElshae@CariGenetics Thank you! I’ve just sent it over but I know it’s probably outside of working hours so I don’t expect a quick response at all.
Hey @CarikaElshae , I have a personal genetics question that I think @CariGenetics might be able to answer, I’ve tried submitting it through the contact us form on your website and by emailing on 19/05 but haven’t heard back is there another way or email I could use?
One of the most frustrating aspect ahout racism in the Caribbean it's the constant denial of it, because people push the idea that it can't exist if we are all mixed.
A Gen Z joined the team.
Week one.
During onboarding, the manager said,
“We sometimes stay late during peak periods.”
Gen Z nodded.
Then asked,
“Is that paid… or just expected?”
The room went quiet.
- No attitude.
- No rebellion.
- Just a question.
Later that day, HR mentioned “growth opportunities.”
Gen Z replied,
“Does growth include raises, or just more responsibility?”
Again, silence.
- No laziness.
- No entitlement.
- Just clarity.
That’s when the team realized something.
When people say
“Gen Z is lazy,”
what they really mean is:
Gen Z watched old generation
- skip meals,
- miss birthdays,
- work weekends,
- and burn out
only to be told
“budgets are tight”
and “be grateful you have a job.”
So Gen Z chose differently.
- They don’t romanticize overwork.
- They don’t confuse suffering with ambition.
- They don’t trade health for praise.
They still work hard.
They just refuse to work for nothing.
It’s not laziness.
It’s pattern recognition.
And honestly,
after everything old generation went through…
Can you really blame them?
And I want people to really understand that instead of telling people to hustle harder and all this crazy shit when people literally don’t have money! THERE ARE PEOPLE WITH ONLY ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY BILLS AND THEY HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER THEY’RE GOING TO EAT OR NOT!
We can complain about reality TV game shows like #TheTraitors being discriminatory but they are absolutely a reflection of REALITY.
We see this in workplaces and social settings all the time.
The producers can't edit reality.
