This era has shed light on gross inequities and racialized trauma in various work environments; bringing clarity to the dire need for individuals to create healthy boundaries and prioritize self-compassion. Through this commentary, the author seeks three outcomes: (1) to define and understand racialized work trauma, (2) to identify the difference between individual and organizational accountability therein, and (3) to give some guidance on individual practices that help create critical boundaries and healing in one’s work life. Guiding questions are as follows: What is racialized work trauma? How does it manifest? What are quick fixes for fostering boundaries? What are some practical solutions to protecting one’s psyche?
