My brother is 16. I spoke to him about scams and gambling today. Heโ€™s been looking for a job got a call from one of those โ€œadd me on WhatsAppโ€ spammers. He added them, but realised something was off. 2 of his friends are into gambling. Young people have it really hard these days.

You have to remember, many of the people you go to work with are racist. They have a belief that theyโ€™re superior to you. So you end up provoking all their demons day in day out when theyโ€™re shown this isnโ€™t the case. Your brilliance is rattling. Your competence is triggering

Black British professionals are showing up in the workplace ready, skilled, eager and full of light. Only to have that systematically snuffed out due to disingenuous performance reviews, malicious probation extensions and unfair PIPs.

The impact of this financially is disastrous. Awful experiences chip away at your self worth so you donโ€™t put yourself up for leadership roles, donโ€™t advocate for the pay rises/promotions youโ€™re deserving of and your living situation hasnโ€™t improved since you were a grad!

Black professionals in the UK experience pervasive undermining, scrutiny and psychological warfare that eats away at their confidence, overall self esteem and wellbeing. This has a huge impact on our finances and ability to maintain and achieve stability let alone โ€œgenerational wealthโ€

Thereโ€™s a lot of talk in the UK about the plight of Black Brits. Home ownership stats, collective wealth, how much we have in our pension pots etc. As a qualified Careers Adviser Iโ€™m here to address factors that arenโ€™t being spoken about: career instability + workplace trauma

Do we under-utilise our community in regards to emotional support? Societyโ€™s over-reliance on therapy is symptomatic of a world that pushes for individualism, avoidance and compartmentalising. Read my latest post: open.substack.com/pub/shomiwโ€ฆ
