Performing Blackness For a Paycheck

Most workplaces have a version of Blackness they'll tolerate: polished, grateful, low-maintenance, and a version they won't. In this episode, David and Trenia get into what organizations reward and punish, how the current political moment is tightening the unspoken rules around "acceptable" Black identity at work, and what it looks like when your sense of self collides with what your workplace needs you to be. From bare-minimum advocacy to performing radical language for white funders, they name the cost of closing that gap every day, and make the case that Black professionals deserve to name that tension honestly, not manage it silently.
Listener prompt: What version of yourself do you bring to work, and what version do you leave at the door?
