Description
What is the face of domination in our society and therefore at work?
How do we experience this hegemonic norm when we are neither white, nor male, nor heterosexual, nor able-bodied? Should we negotiate spaces to exist or leave? How do we ensure that our humanity is respected in these teams where we spend most of our time? How do we respond to microaggressions and the denial of skills when we are a minority person?
Followed by almost 30,000 people on Twitter, Marie Dasylva created the Nkaliworks agency, a network of specialists to confront racism in the world of work. She launched #JeudiSurvieAuTaf, which allows her to share strategies with Internet users through the prism of intersectionality. Marie also launched her podcast Better Call Marie to continue to spread its techniques.
The author has gathered in this book her experience and her most requested advice. By using nine cases, which Marie calls "the Nuggets", she allows the person who reads it to find the answers to their own situation. For each Nugget, the author describes the problem, then gives her expertise. She thus provides keys to raise your head.
This self-defense manual is also a strong critique of the world we live in, where being a minority is already seen as a sign of defiance. Marie works so that every minority person finds a dignified and worthy place in the world of work.
