In this episode, we’re diving deep into a topic hot off the press: why more Black women are choosing remote work to protect their peace and escape the racism and microaggressions so often found in office culture. Inspired by a Business Insider article on this very trend, we break down the concept I’m calling “Remotely Retreating.”
I also share real-world strategies and tips to help you transition to remote work, plus a few resources that helped me along the way.
