Scenario

When diversity efforts place unfair burden on the few marginalized voices present

My community college's equity committee has one Black member and she's exhausted from being the only voice on racial issues and the rest of us don't know how to step up without speaking for experiences we don't have and we're stuck in this paralysis.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Good intentions around inclusion can create dynamics where marginalized people carry disproportionate emotional labor for the group's learning.
