"Non Black people joining Black professionals orgs"


  

          

Why
Theres a Black at (insert company) work group
And I get that its work and not a “safe space”
But Im specifically trying to recruit for our team “within” and I got a lot of people not “within” that ingroup reaching out
And there are diversity groups for these non ingroup folks with WAY more representation so it’s not as if there’s not a space for them.
