Black people have been experiencing racial trauma for centuries and the workplace is no exception. The extrajudicial murders of George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, and Ahmaud Arbery garnered worldwide attention to anti-Black racism and racial inequity. At that time\, many organizations made commitments to address systemic racism and promote the well-being of the Black community. A common theme was a willingness to have conversations about race in the workplace and to increase their commitment to diversity. An unintended outcome of these commitments has been more racial trauma for the Black people who are now being asked to educate\, advise\, or lead these efforts in the workplace\, while simultaneously continuing to experience microaggressions and microinsults.
