Were They Afraid We Were Planning a Coup D'etat?

I spent my first summer during Columbia Law School at a firm in Philadelphia described as one of the best places in the city for black lawyers. I believed that if there was any place where I would have an equal chance at opportunities, be treated fairly and succeed, this would be it. There were three black female summer associates out of sixty that year but any time all three of us were in an office talking, one of the partners would knock on the door to see how we were doing.

Mary worked for a tech publishing company until the environment became so unsupportive and untrusting that she begged to be laid off.

Please, Lay Me Off!

I worked at a tech publishing company when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was sick a lot and I got freaked out.
