In this Summer Special, we teamed up with our British sisters from the Black Women Working podcast and we're talking Bs: burnout, British work culture compared to the U.S., and Black Lives Matter. Black Women Working is a podcast show that highlights the workplace experiences of Black women in the U.K. We chat about how the current events ranging from remote work, coronavirus lockdowns, and racial unrest can lead to burnout, and how some of these issues are showing up and impacting Black women in the U.S. and the U.K. We also take a look at the difference in work culture between the U.K. and the U.S. and how Black women professionals can find a happy work life balance.
