Black women on Twitter are fed up with the way they are treated in the workplace so they are sharing their experiences on Twitter. Activist Brittany Packnett kicked off the hashtag #BlackWomenAtWork on Tuesday afternoon in response to the disrespectful ways in which two prominent black women were treated by public figures throughout the day. “I’m surrounded everyday by brilliant, confident, incredible black professional women who get demeaned despite their prowess. “I wanted the hashtag to make the invisible visible, to challenge non-black people to stand with black women not just when this happens on television, but in the cube right next to them,” she said. “I’m also glad stories of triumph and achievement got shared through the hashtag as well ― black women are more than just our woes, we are triumphant.”Read through the tweets below to get a glimpse of the reality some black women face in the workplace:
