On Refusal and Recovery - What We Learn from Black Women About Reclaiming Our Wellness at Work
Black women have a complicated relationship with labor in the U.S. context and beyond. Born out of a legacy of enslavement, Black women's labor dynamics entangle identity, purpose, and survival with the potential to undermine their thriving. And yet, Black women are getting free. Finding deeper, personal meaning in our work, articulating boundaries for rest and restoration, and uncoupling the damage of intergenerational racial trauma from the intersection of racism, sexism, and classism from who we know ourselves to be. In this keynote address, Dr. Wendi Williams explains how Black women's refusal and recovery offer key lessons to positively shape our collective reclamation of wellness in our work lives.
