Thank you so much for your support of The Generational View this season! It’s hard to believe that we have reached the end of Season 1. We’ve been fortunate to have some incredibly thought-provoking and timely conversations about race and racism, as the fight for racial equity was center stage in the United States in 2020-2021. We thank all our guests and avid supporters, and we look forward to many more seasons.
The season concludes with Raven’s analysis on our featured series of the season - the Working While Black Series (Episodes 4, 7 & 8, 10 & 11). The impetus for the series was the stark reality of yet another series of trauma inducing events in the news that made it very difficult for a lot of the Black folks we work with and engage with to work and even function at full capacity. We wanted to provide a window into this reality, as well as examining similarities and differences across generations.

What Black professionals are looking for from the companies/ institutions they work for AND their non-Black colleagues, friends, and peers regarding the fight for racial equity and Black lives. (3:50) The increase in optimism as you go down the generational spectrum (5:30) The various coping mechanism that Black professionals use for self care (8:20) The perception from younger Black professionals that Black Gen Xers and Black Baby Boomers are not vocal, bold or direct enough when it comes to leveraging their power to to fight for racial equity.
