Is it worth it? This week, Cornell University Professor Dr. Courtney McCluney joins us for a real talk discussion about black fatigue and the upsides and downsides of code-switching. We unpack whether, codeswitching in spaces where negative stereotypes of black professionals run counter to what is considered suitable and normal behavior for a particular environment worth the large implications to their well-being and economic advancement. Additionally, Dr. McCluney recommends tangible action items that provide everyone in their respective workplaces a way forward in beginning to tackle this behavior.We release a new episode every other week.
