Missed the point. Not sabotaging you, but sabotaging themselves. Happens so often. This is a beautiful and mature act by a professional engaged in deep introspection and healing. Hopefully, it was not in vain.

But wait… the thing is that how are you able to quantify the amount of disruption his intentionally malicious actions caused to you in your workplace and essentially your career. I know that one monkey won’t stop the show, but he should have sent an email to the leadership to make them aware of the situation. He could’ve made you look unresponsive and affected others views of you as well. Contempt is poisonous and its spread is incalculable and dangerous. Sir, this is not high school. How many people have you bounced your feelings of me off on? Maybe you didn’t notice the tension because you’re focused but what if others didn’t notice it and were thinking it was all your doing? I was emailed a manifesto of sorts, of what a group of women were doing to have me removed from my position. These were women I confided in and trusted. I made these women tamales. Most were from out of town and I invited them to holidays with my family. While I was spending time making sure that we were building a safe , inclusive space, they were actively working against me. I think God that I believe his promise so that I don’t become one of these demons that are full of heat and can’t see that they are hurting the person that is looking out for them…….. how dreadful?!?! Thank you for continuing to share your experiences.

I think that a lot of white people are so used to their feelings being coddled, that just being direct and matter of fact about basic day-to-day things makes them feel attacked. And in my experience, black women are very direct, I am as well, I say what I mean and have been excluded because it makes other people uncomfortable.

This happens ALLLL the time. I’m inspired by his growth, because it’s not easy to do, and for everyone like you who doesn’t get it, I think there’s dozens of others who can feel the tension but don’t know why it exists. I hope you both are able to keep moving on to an even better working relationship in the future! 💜

I would actually really appreciate somebody doing this all that work on their own, seeing that the issue was theirs all along, and getting back to me once they’ve dealt with, instead of trying to rope me into their sht. Ppl create stories in their minds all the time and believe and sometimes, they never realize it, or they d but don’t want to feel crazy so they keep it going lol

This happened to me. I was treated like shit. He then said, "I was reacting to you based on a version of you I created in my head. You're not that person. " Yeah, we don't talk anymore
