How To Survive A Job While Creating Your Exit Plan: Black Women & Toxic Jobs

If you’ve ever whispered to yourself, “I can’t do this much longer,” but also thought, “I can’t afford to leave just yet,” this conversation is for you.

In this powerful LIVE interview, I’m sitting down with Jacquie Abram, the author of “Surviving In A Toxic Workplace: Strategies to Protect Your Career” to talk about what it really takes to stay afloat in a harmful work environment while actively building your escape route.

We’re pulling back the curtain on:

💥 The psychological toll of enduring a toxic job while still trying to protect your reputation and peace
🛑 How Black Women are often expected to “endure” in silence while managing racism, misogyny, and burnout
🧭 Why creating a clear, intentional exit plan is not a luxury—it’s a necessity
🔐 Smart and strategic moves you can make now to preserve your mental health and your paycheck
💡 How to reclaim your power in a workplace designed to diminish it

Whether you’re trying to make it to your next check, next role, or next calling, this conversation will equip you with tools, clarity, and hope.

✨ You don’t have to suffer in silence—and you’re not alone in this. Come take notes, ask questions, and be affirmed.

📌 This is for the Black woman who is done shrinking, done surviving, and ready to start planning her liberation.
