I’m not sure where the hate is coming from. Alicia is using her voice to tell her story. Her experience is hers and hers alone. We can have opinions but I will be deleting any hateful comments. We don’t need any of that, it’s not constructive and it’s not what we’re about.
We believe in the power of collective voice. By providing a platform for these black British changemakers we want to inspire, creating a ripple effect that drives tangible systemic change. If you believe in a better and more equitable world for us all, please join us on our journey. If you’re here to troll and leave hateful comments..please go elsewhere.
Most needed collaboration!

Well done Alicia.
We need to talk.
Thanks for tuning in
Proud of you!
🙏🏿

What a courageous, fearless individual!! I absolutely love this interview!
Thank you for tuning in!
Every person you described in your former workplace you labelled by race - a black woman, white guy, jewish guy - and you spoke to each differently based on their race. You described situations where you had interactions with managers and coworkers you didn't like and immediately injected racism not only as the problem but the ONLY factor at play. There are clearly issues in companies of people being ingorant or discrimintory but you've applied it to absolutely everything and don't sound like you've carried yourself with much tact. In fact, it sounds like you were in constant disputes and it seems many, many people had issues with you. For example reporting you for mislabelling the fillipina as an employee for the Phillipine office, this is ridiculous of course but so obviously retaliation for your misplaced complaints of racism in the past. People clearly didn't like you and this was for reasons other than your race.
For example ACCEPTING a role that's more junior than you'd like and then going into a meeting with a new boss and immediately demanding a list of deliverables in order to get a Senior position. The manager quite rightly said 'slow down', obviously because they haven't even seen whether you can deliver at all, never mind whether you have the temperment for a leadership role. Nobody in their right mind would commit to a list in that scenario. You somehow made that interaction about your race?
There's no doubt issues of discrimination in workplaces - but it's nothing like what DEI people like you want to claim, in my industry it's directed mainly at people of south Asian backgrounds and is furthered by people of *all* backgrounds. However we ALL have to deal with difficult colleagues, managers and leaders. We need to navigate that and figure out how to get our point across without alienating everyone else and being some kind of "activist" at work is not how you do that.
DIVERSITY EXPERT 💀💀💀💀

me i dont want diversity , i want to go single separatelly , i am not black , but you if you like diversity then go that way but i dont want diversity , i dont want republicanism or democracy , i want to go single and yet have everything i want need decide that what i want as a biological male homosexual
Sounds like what libertarian used to be.
Homosexuality is not an identity it's a behaviour. An unproductive one at that. I would know having been part of the "gay community".
What do you mean you wanna go single. Like a monarchy?
@@joeycottone7755 i am not libertarian , i want separatelly from this universe , never say never as soon even the most stupid people will create their own space and even universe because if everything is energy it mean that creating a functional universe is posible but in my universe it will only have only 1 biological sex and that only biological males being homosexual and even without them and only me in it if someone dont allow me then me stayng in my own universe but creating robots it becomes the way , i dont want togetherness and unity that not my desires and needs and decision
@@Mukawakadoodoo no monarchy no , i want to go separate to create my own space universe etc where only me i exist there , this universe as well it has some rules and the way it function but i totally disrespect reject this universe and the way it function , from now on nature must adapt to me and not me to adapt to nature , my homosexual biological male specific separate decision is above this universe and it functionality
