Amid Layoffs Black Americans remain unmolested for first time in history

For the first time in history layoffs are NOT hitting Black Americans first and hard. In times past is was always the Black American who was laid off first without severance or consideration. History has shown us that the Black American Woman is most educated, most experienced, most trusted to work across all teams managing up and down. Black American Women are more dedicated to their work as they are usually the breadwinner in single parent homes and stability rests upon her shoulders. For the first time in history her job is secure. Why? It’s because she is being underpaid yet she is over qualified. Keeping up appearances has destroyed American corporations long enough. The American Black Woman is being appreciated by all corporations finally.

She is the most valuable in quality as well as fiscally sound in compensation.

That’s why. For the first time in American history the Black American Woman is respected, valued, and now compensated according to what she actually brings to the role and the company.

To those impacted by the #Microsoft #layoff yesterday, I know right now you’re reeling. Today, just breathe. Treat yourself with the kindness you would show a two year old. Focus on the paperwork. When you’re ready, there’s a whole world out here to explore, and an army of alumni here to help you. I’m happy to help you make connections.

The American Black Woman is being appreciated by all corporations finally as is appropriate and long overdue. My question is; is it too little too late? What about reparations for Black American Descendants of Slaves? It’s time America began to “pack fair” with her true VIPs live, and out loud.
