How Dr. Bonnie Candia-Bailey's suicide from workplace abuse shows us we need to pass the Workplace Psychological Safety Act

Update: 2024-02-05

Description

Dr. Bonnie Candia-Bailey was a VP of student affairs at Lincoln University in Missouri when she died by suicide on January 8, 2024. Reporters revealed that Dr. Candia-Bailey saw her reports of Lincoln University President Dr. John Moseley's alleged harassment and bullying not result in support. In this episode, I talk about what we know through the media about her situation at work and how white men in power set up the system for Black women to suffer.
