If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right and still being told you’re not enough — this is for you. In this honest and personal livestream, I share my story as a Black woman navigating a toxic work culture that tried to gaslight me into silence. We talk about early conditioning, manipulation at work, the emotional toll of being underestimated, and how to wake up, reclaim your value, and plan your exit without losing yourself. 🔥 You’re not crazy. ✨ You’re not lazy. 💼 You’re just in a system that benefits when you doubt yourself. Let’s talk about how to break the cycle. 🛎Make sure to LIKE 👍, COMMENT 💬, SUBSCRIBE ‼️ 🛎Please Don’t Forget to Click the Notification Bell, So You Won’t Miss Any Future Uploads. ♡ t i m e s t a m p s 0:00 start 0:49 Intro & set up TOPIC: Recognizing toxic work environments 1:35 current personal experiences at work 2:40 the role of early school in current work dynamics 4:00 the tea 9:30 dealing with other people’s opinions 12:31 unpacking “you don’t do anything” 13:10 Why this matters 16:20 reflecting on my current role 21:17 why we don’t recognize a toxic work environment 22:18 what happens when you reject the toxic environment programming 23:53 why people over exert themselves 24:17 navigating tiered opinions 25:59 tea 27:54 q&a chat : value based on different roles 32:02 the benefit of having a masters in library science (FREEDOM) 34:13 q&a chat: how to not get sanctioned and plan your escape 35:28 short term disability 38:30 q&a chat: not a role model, child 39:50 why people are mean at work 42:50 there’s nothing wrong with you 43:40 how my medical has helped me 46:16 importance of working on your own projects 48:25 soft life girly 51:00 Motivational Message / midweek inspiration 54:58 Main takeaway 57:28 why we’re not quitting 59:45 closing ♡ products mentioned my amazon store: www.amazon.com/shop/lilianshekinah ♡ connect with me instagram: lilianshekinah ♡ business inquiries contact.lilianshekinah@gmail.com ♡ f a q ♡ Camera: iPhone 15 Pro & Sony ZV1 ♡ m u s i c ♡ Intro & Outro: 318tae - Honest ♡ affiliate disclaimer ♡ This video is not a sponsored video.
