Ageism + Racism: How to Rise Above Them Both

By Idara Whem

"The Root Nobody Wants You to Find

Have you ever been the most qualified person in the room and been treated like the least? That feeling has a name. And the name is not racism. The name is not ageism. The name is classism - and racism and ageism are how it gets delivered to you.

There is a question that lives in the body before it lives in the mind. It surfaces in the moment before you speak in a meeting where your credentials are longer than anyone else's at the table. It surfaces when a younger colleague with a fraction of your experience is handed an opportunity you built the groundwork for. The question is: What is actually happening here?
Most books will tell you the answer is racism. Some will tell you it is ageism. A smaller number will tell you it is both. All of those answers are true. None of them is the root. This book goes to the root.
Race is a management tool. It was constructed - not discovered, not inherited from nature, not ordained - constructed by people with economic interests in keeping certain populations divided, compliant, and competing with each other
