Reah Bravo is tackling an incredibly important topic in her new book Complicit: How Our Culture Enables Misbehaving Men. After speaking out about her experiences working for journalist and talk show host Charlie Rose in her essay “The Open Secret Door of Charlie Rose” published in 2018, Reah was inspired to use her story as the foundation to write Complicit. An examination of how women unintentionally condone workplace abuse in a post-#MeToo world, Complicit combines Reah’s experiences with those of other women alongside research and expert opinions to pull back the curtain on the status quo and reveal the steps we can take to change things for the better. In this interview, we talk about processing and understanding workplace misconduct, the messages Reah hopes readers take away from Complicit, and the narratives that impact our everyday lives.
Working for Charlie Rose right after graduate school and what the office culture was like for ReahThe harmful norm that enduring a negative work environment can be seen as a “badge of honor”What inspired Reah to come forward and publish her essay and how that story became the basis for ComplicitCultural narratives and how they are formed, maintained, and used to shape our identitiesRaising awareness, calling things as we see it, and what we can do to make positive change
