Description
This course, as taught by Dr. Eric Betts, is based on the book "Working While Black," by Attorney Michelle T. Johnson, which explores the unique challenges and experiences faced by African American individuals in the workplace. The key objective is to foster a nuanced understanding of these dynamics, highlighting their relationship with broader societal structures and the potential for individual and collective action to drive change. The material in the course is also a toolkit for those who may be employers or instructors interested in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI.)

In this course, we delve into Johnson's strategic perspectives on the professional experiences of black individuals. We explore why black professionals need to approach the workplace with a different mindset and a clear strategy, recognizing the unique challenges they face.

The course also provides guidance on assessing potential workplaces, considering your personal goals and internal processes in a manner that aligns with your professional ambitions. It offers counsel on securing your first job or switching careers, presenting strategies on how to identify what you want and achieve it.

We further discuss the significance of authentic representation and the potential for black professionals to use their position to drive change. As a key figure in a workplace, you can act as a catalyst for change by leveraging your influence and authority. Building strategic alliances in the workplace is also a focal point, as is learning to fit into diverse workplaces without compromising your identity.
