One more thing, since so many folks wanna talk about merit here, just gonna add - 20% of all CS grads are Black and Latinx, 24% of all Bootcamp grads are Black and Latinx. We are watching less than a 1/3 of these people get jobs every year - compared with 73% of their white peers

Important announcement from our CEO @mjmichellekim📢 “those of you who have reached out to us and have not heard back, I trust that your momentary sense of urgency for DEI/anti-racist education will be sustained for a few more weeks, if not hopefully months and years to come.”✊🏼
Michelle MiJung Kim (she/her)@mjmichellekim

My company @AwakenCo is getting a flood of requests for workshops right now. It's disorienting. I'm collecting a list of Black-owned DEI companies and Black independent consultants to refer businesses to, who are open to doing anti-racism training w/ corporate clients right now.

a reminder to any black employee going to work in a predominately non-black space that this is not your problem to solve for your white co-workers. period.

“We all perpetuate anti-Black racism in our daily lives. We can’t fight anti-Black racism unless we can notice its manifestation in ourselves and others on a daily basis in our workplace, social interactions, and online engagement.” — @mjmichellekim link.medium.com/sbDzXClDR6

A8. Lastly, be identity & bias conscious. Research shows women & people of color receive vague & biased feedback. Know common biases that influence your perception. Avoid vague/career-limiting phrases like “too aggressive” “lacks leadership potential” “needs executive presence.”

A8. Thread because this one is super important! Check whether your feedback is actually based on *performance* or your *preference.* Know how to evaluate the difference. Have a concrete evaluation criteria and be fair to that. #ManagerChats

Q8. An important part of coaching employees is providing constructive feedback on their performance. 💬 What are some best practices you've learned to provide performance feedback in a way that's helpful and fosters growth? 🤔 #ManagerChats

A9. Don’t just focus on making them feel like their *work* matters -- Make them know *THEY MATTER*. Invite them to the decision making table, listen to their ideas, show the impact of their work and how it’s connected to broader company goals and strategy. #ManagerChats

Q9. Finally, if you can make your team members feel like their work matters, they are more likely to feel like their job matters. ❤️ How have you fostered the practice of meaningful work and community inside of your organization? #ManagerChats

If you’re a public speaker or facilitator on DEI/social justice, take the time to calibrate with your audience throughout the talk to maximize what they takeaway.

This happens all too often. Don’t leave the emotional burden on the underrepresented and underserved. We have enough to do already trying to measure up to the goal line that keeps moving every time we get close. 👇🏾
Michelle MiJung Kim (she/her)@mjmichellekim

Remember: if you agitate without also providing context and resources to folks, marginalized people around them have to pick up the burden of educational and emotional labor after you bounce. That’s not 100% unavoidable but you have the power to reduce it as much as possible.
