Sharing our experiences of microaggressions also requires bravery, and it never gets easier. But I hope my story helps people gain a better understanding of our journey as an IEN⬇️⬇️

Had a conversation today about the difference between "kindness" & "niceness" in leadership so decided to post about it. The article & graphic explain why, as leaders, we should choose kindness over niceness:
