This is a healing community space for Black Women, specifically those of us who have encountered challenging often traumatic work experiences. We share, validate, and support in this space as we "lift as we climb"*.
Through my professional experiences as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and personal traumas as a Toxic Job Survivor, I focus on uplifting as many Black Women as I can as a Toxic Job Liberator™.
I pray that any Black Woman who watches my videos will know that she is not alone in having challenging work experiences and that there are resources (many of which I provide) that can help her create a life that she deserves (and still pay her bills).
Sis, I see you, I hear you, and I am here to support you...Dr. Kimani
*"Lifting As We Climb" is the motto of the National Association of Colored Women (NACW) which was founded by Mary Church Terrell and other powerful Black Women in 1896 with a focus on addressing social and political issues impacting our communities.

She was called "The Black B****" and "A Quota Hire" behind closed doors — by a colleague who was also telling her students not to trust her.
She reported it.
Her boss dismissed her.
And then the students filed a complaint —
and the truth finally came out.
The colleague was dismissed.
But then the company asked her to share her promotion with a white man three years her junior.
Tomorrow, Dr. Mel Robinson-Brown, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Keynote Speaker, is joining me to share her full story.

We were taught to get the degrees, the certifications, the experience —
to work twice as hard.
Many of us were not told about the double-edged sword.
Today, I am sitting down with @CharenteC who did everything right —
and discovered the same painful pattern across multiple industries.
Please note — this conversation includes sensitive content about the mental health
impact of these experiences. We approach it with care.

She got laid off. And then it happened again. And every single time —
she walked away making more money than she had before.
Tomorrow, I am sitting down with Cledra Gross, Life Coach & Business Strategist, who has been laid off more than once — and pivoted strategically every single time — to share exactly how she did it.
