For many Black women, work is more than a job. It’s a constant balancing act of professionalism and protection.
It’s about managing perceptions, softening truth, and holding space for others even when no one holds space for you.
That invisible labor often goes unseen but it is felt deeply. It’s emotional, mental, and spiritual work that too often goes unacknowledged.
Wellness leaders, HR teams, and organizations can do better by:
✔ Creating environments that honor honesty without tone policing
✔ Prioritizing psychological safety and authentic inclusion
✔ Compensating emotional labor with recognition and rest
Wellness starts with truth. Let’s create workplaces where Black women can lead without carrying it all. https://willedbywellness.com/
