Asserting yourself as a black women is often perceived as aggression. This in-turn puts us off asserting ourselves and builds up resentment towards our employers. I am an advocate of using the governance process and strategically understanding how to communicate with Human Resources and senior management. I have been sworn at, had things thrown at me, ignored, humiliated and in every situation I have known that a legitimate display of anger could change the narrative. Instead of focusing on the situation where we have been wronged and treated badly, the focus then turns to our reaction. Knowing this I have developed my superpower in being a black woman. Weaponising our tears is never an option for us,  the stereotype of 'angry black woman' is the narrative developed by those who use this to oppress black woman. You cannot put black women in the corner.
