“You’ve changed.”
But... have you really? Or have you just learned to survive?
In this episode, we’re diving into the nuance and necessity of code-switching, compartmentalization, and adaptation, not as signs of betrayal, but as sacred acts of self-preservation. For many Black professionals, especially in predominantly white or high-pressure environments, shifting how you show up is not about inauthenticity, it’s about making it through.
So let’s talk about it:
- What does it really mean to be strategic vs. inauthentic at work?
- How do you know when you’re protecting your peace... or slowly losing yourself?
- Who gets to define authenticity, and why is that so loaded?
- What toll does long-term compartmentalization take on the body, mind, and spirit?
