Playing the "Nice Black Girl" with Michelle Gyimah
Every Black woman knows what it means to play the “Nice Black Girl" in the workplace. Just like every Black woman knows what it means to be labeled the “Angry Black Woman”.
Between these two labels, Black women have to make hard choices about how they engage, disagree, and work with their colleagues and clients, while maintaining their professional integrity and sense of identity and well-being.
In this episode of Mistakes That Made Me, I interview ethnic and gender pay gaps consultant Michelle Gyimah about how she navigated client relationships as a Black woman who was trying to avoid being stereotyped as the "Angry Black Woman". Michelle shares the mistake this led her to make, and what you can learn from it.
