Welcome Queen, to Your "Black Excellence" Tribe-
You are no longer struggling alone.
First, let's address the organizational gaslighting. YOU are NOT crazy. The decline of your mental health at work is actually COMPLEX TRAUMA/PTSD  resulting from the sustained racist microaggressions you've experienced at the hands of your workplace's mediocre-performing narcissists. It's NOT just happening to you.  According to the American Psychological Association's brain trauma research and my international client's testimony, this is happening to high-performing Black women around the world.  If you let me, I can help you heal and develop your STRATEGIC INTELLIGENCE to help you remind them who TF you are.

You have found your tribe, a safe professional community of Black female elite performers in which you can be helped to identify, understand, and even confess without judgement the horrifying and often debilitating impact of what you have been experiencing at work which IS defined as complex trauma or PTSD. I know you’ve tried to survive in your traumatizing workplace not fully understanding or being able to accept or believe what is happening at the hands of your underqualified, often narcissistic, leaders, and jealous, underperforming coworkers. 

Beloved, it's NOT you, it's THEM. For elite performers, workplaces by the nature of their design, which rewards only mediocre performers, can become isolating and ultimately dangerous for your mental, spiritual and physical health as you suffer the onslaught of covert micro aggressions that are designed to punish you for performing at a higher level than either your supervisor or coworkers. Workplace performance rules and expectations are different and always changing for us, driven by confirmation, implicit and horns effect biases that are the weapon of choice in a workplace culture that breeds mediocrity instead of excellence. 

​

Gurl, I know I first met you on my Tik Tok page as a culturally-informed, trauma focused clinician and former Clinical Director/Clinical Supervisor of Psychiatric and Outpatient Mental Health but "we family now".  Your comments helped me realize that my sporadic postings proved a small and insufficient level of  support for the mental, emotional and physical healing that my clients actually need. Thus, I have finally succumbed to your relentless nagging to increase my platform thereby giving you access to a much broader scope of support. The thing is, our ancestors weren't and we ain't no bytches either. We are NOT going anywhere. Our workplace NARCISSISTS thought they could isolate us and denigrate our self worth with an onslaught of racially covert micro-aggressions causing identify confusion and degraded mental and physical health. That is exactly what was happening until Auntie found you and you found each other. Please join us here, your high performing sisters united in Black Excellence to render impotent our communal enemy...insidious WORKPLACE TRAUMA at the hands of our jealous, insecure, incompetent mediocre performing colleagues who like to pretend their actions are not racist AF.  Not today Satan!

​

Love Ya'll,
