should we open the convo about how black and brown women are treated at nonprofits? bc i was pushed out @BRICbrooklyn and it was common for employees to cry in the bathroom

I went to hr bc my boss, from the moment i started, was not interested in working with me. after weeks of me asking to meet to go over my tasks, she just walked over to me to say she’s not used to help. she continued to ignore my emails asking for instruction

instead she continued to assign me work that was meant to demean me. I was told to mop and sweep our studio before shows, despiser the fact that @BRICbrooklyn had a full-time custodial staff

on a funny tip: after months of my boss trying to get me to work shows for FREE, she proceeded to explain to me why her work was so important. This white curator felt the need to tell me that she gave a platform to otherwise ignored black and brown communities—condescending af

she also hired a white undergrad intern, and while we were both in the office would ask me to print and holepunch scripts, several times verbally reminding me that I was “just a PA”

i have more stories about BJ Evans, the producer. I also had the great fortune to work under Jack Walsh, my VP. When my colleague suggested I go to a conference for admins of color, he covered the words “of color” on his screen and said “see, if it wasn’t for this I’d send Emma”
