Black workers have seen it all!
Last hired-First fired…
Concrete ceilings…
Doing more – paid less…
Today’s Black job crisis — a combination of racial discrimination, underemployment and unemployment–is maintained by this political economy. In response, the National Black Worker Center Project (NBWCP) created the #WorkingWhileBlack (WWB) video series as a platform to share and tell our workplace stories and set the stage for solutions to encounters experienced in the workplace.
Join us as we discuss our experiences Working While Black; and gain insights on exercising your rights on the job, learning your rights, and organizing your workplace. We’ll dive into issues that impact the job market, define the gig economy and more.
We tell our stories because our truths bring validation and support from one another, which empowers us to mobilize and to fight for change. By telling our truth, we inspire others to do the same.
