How does capitalism impact our sense of belonging at work?

Having grown up as a military brat and living everywhere from Germany to Atlanta, Georgia; our guest, Drisana McDaniel, developed a unique perspective on societal norms and expectations. This perspective led her to become a sociology graduate as well as a Sr. Researcher & Instructor at the Acosta Institute.

Her views on the topic of "Working While Black" are greatly influenced by her experiences of not fitting into pre-determined societal expectations of blackness and identity. She joined me during a live show I did for LinkedIn’s Creator Program and we talked about everything the 8000 Ways To Be Black, learning to look at anxiety as wisdom, and the side effects of calling out your organization for being toxic.
