Jacquie Abram, discrimination consultant, shares her powerful story of navigating toxic and discriminatory workplaces. Despite being set up to fail through lack of training and faulty equipment, Jacquie persevered, only to face the same challenges at each new job, highlighting the systemic racism many professionals of color experience. We discuss the covert forms of discrimination Black professionals, especially Black women, face, such as being set up to fail, excessive workloads, and perpetuating the "angry Black woman" stereotype. This creates a toxic environment where Black employees cannot advocate for themselves without being labeled aggressive, leading to marginalization and career setbacks. The concept of covert racism is explained using the analogy of an iceberg, where the visible 10% is overt racism, while the 90% hidden beneath is covert racism, deeply embedded in workplace cultures and difficult to detect. We discuss the challenges of addressing covert racism, including the "inspire to conspire" tactic where a leader targets and undermines an employee, often using biased colleagues to destroy their career. We share powerful accounts of experiencing workplace toxicity, bias, and coordinated efforts to undermine their careers, despite diversity and inclusion initiatives. They emphasize the importance of understanding the dynamics at play and strategizing to fight back against these systemic issues, as detailed in the book "Hush Money."
