Strong Friend - Annie, Are you OK?
Myshell Gresham
In our communities and workplaces, Black women are often seen as the “strong friend”—the ones who have it all together, who others lean on, but who rarely get asked, “Are you okay?” This workshop, “Strong Friend – Annie, Are You OK?” dives into the complexities of this role and the emotional toll it can take on Black women, especially in professional settings.
We’ll explore the cultural roots of the strong friend complex, why it’s so prevalent among Black women, and how this label can lead to isolation and burnout. More importantly, this session emphasizes the importance of sisterhood in the workplace—encouraging us to check in on each other, support one another, and create a network of care and understanding. Because if no one else is looking out for us, we must do it for each other.
Join us to learn how to navigate this dynamic, break free from the pressures of always being the strong one, and build a workplace culture where emotional well-being is prioritized for every sister. It’s time to make sure that every “Annie” has someone asking if she’s truly okay.
