'Can I touch your hair?' 'Oh sorry, wrong person.' 'Omg, you're so articulate.' We spend so much of our time at work, and unfortunately, it's not always a safe environment and these are some of the most common microaggression we, as black women have to face in the working world. 

In this week's episode, Leanne, Liv and Shan discuss bringing their whole selves to work, their experiences of microaggressions, and most importantly how they deal with difficult situations with colleagues.   If you would like to find out more about how you can deal with microaggressions in the workplace, this is a very informative video put together by BBC Ideas.
