Only black one?

[OKild09]

Any one else the only black one in their workplace?

I love all my colleagues and we get on well and I've never felt inferior at all but sometimes I just wish there was more diversity.

ALL my colleagues are white and sometimes I forget and start speaking in my "black vernacular" and off course they don't understand. They also don't understand the "black banter".

I just wish there was someone else, my race, I could vibe with 🙁

PS. Almost every job I've been in I've always been the only black one, I live in a small village in the NE.

OP move especially if you have children.

Life is too short.

Ha! I’ve had bosses (yes, more than one) carefully explain to me that I spoke English so well because my parents sent me to this country to learn the language.

Born, brought up and lived 95% of my many decades in England …

Terrible. I think we need to think quicker and start asking these questions also... where are you from? Sorry no where we you actually born? Imagine 🤣 the look on their faces

Oh, I’ve done that, countless times!

Am slightly laughing over this afternoon’s news of the Buckingham Palace resignation …

Also work in the charity sector I'm young and Black the combination of ageism and misogynoir is tiring
