The PR Breakdown with Molly McPherson 88: Being Black in the White Workplace. A perspective on race-related challenges from Cedric Brown
The month of June in the year 2020 will always be known as the month that racial inequality was recognized at a global level and discussed on a digital level like never before in history.
One area of the discussions that arose from this month - the experience for racial minorities in the workplace.
On this week's podcast, Molly speaks with PR professional Cedric Brown about his work experience as a black man working in traditionally white-collar positions.
From code-switching (alternating how you speak in conversation) to questioned work attire, Cedric offers a glimpse into the life of a professional of color.
