Microaggressions are often dismissed as minor offenses or unintentional actions, yet their cumulative impact can have profound effects on mental health. Drawing from my unique perspective as a data technology leader and former paramedic, I will uncover the hidden trauma caused by these subtle actions and words. We'll explore what microaggressions are, how they inflict real psychological harm, and the ripple effect this trauma has on mental health and workplace culture.

This session will equip attendees with a more profound understanding of these issues and actionable strategies to mitigate microaggressions in the workplace. Together, we'll examine how creating a culture of awareness, empathy, and inclusion can foster not only a healthier work environment but also more innovative and collaborative teams. Let's reshape the narrative and work toward a data-driven industry where everyone feels valued and welcomed.
