In this video, I discuss why Black women professionals must use wisdom and discretion when sharing opinions on public social media platforms. I explain how online commentary about sensitive current events can jeopardize careers, especially in workplaces where scrutiny is high. I highlight the difference between free speech and the consequences that can follow when posts are searchable, shareable, and monitored by employers.
I encourage viewers to keep certain conversations at the “kitchen table” to stay safe, protect their livelihoods, and avoid giving toxic workplaces unnecessary ammunition. This episode offers practical guidance for navigating today’s digital landscape while safeguarding your professional future.
This segment was originally part of the First Friday Night LIVE for October 2025.
