Description
A bold call to rethink authenticity at work
Workplace dynamics in recent years have been a dizzying storm of broken promises. Companies that once encouraged employees to come as you are and bring your full, authentic self to work are now shutting down initiatives, part of an ongoing cycle of trading on our identities when its convenient and profitable.
Jodi-Ann Burey, writer and critic known for her TED talk The Myth of Bringing Your Full, Authentic Self to Work, delves into the dangers of disclosure in environments that arent built for our well-being. With insights from pop culture, academic research, and interviews with other professionals of color, Burey argues that we deserve better than shallow ploys for representation.
Our physical and emotional health are at risk, and too much is sacrificedfor ourselves and for collective progresswhen our full potential is blocked by racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism. Authentic is a powerful reckoningand now is the time to reclaim our agency. Even at work.
