Episode 3. The Burdens of Race Work and the Power of Self-Advocacy With CJ Donald
Manage episode 371669716 series 3490523
Corporate attorney CJ Donald sits down with Kate and Josey to share his story of burnout, which stemmed from both the burden of race work- the extra, often unpaid work of mentoring and recruiting that is placed on Black associates- and from working at an unsustainable pace, doing work he had outgrown. This is a can't-miss episode with practical advice on how to overcome burnout by advocating for yourself and your career, as well as an honest conversation about how firms can increase diversity without tokenizing diverse associates.
