Shifting is an important fundamental skill that black woman and women of color have adopted to survive professional settings. Shifting is double sided. Although it is altering the authentic self and expectations to accommodate a socially acceptable identity, it is also an effective technique to process and navigate experiences. Helping black women and other women of color manage the shifting phenomenon will increase the awareness that shifting can be used as a tool to acknowledge their authentic self, and the complexity of intersecting identities, ultimately producing mental wellness.
