"I didn't know what type of support I would need, and I never expected it to come from work," says Brittney Oliver, whose cousin was shot by police in 2016.Brittney Oliver is a marketing communications professional from Greater Nashville and writer.
It's grief or mourning that never goes away because you know that justice hasn't been served for your loved one. It was something that I discovered was common with my other black friends growing up. If your parents had issues you kept it to yourself; if a relative was sick or lost a job you didn't tell people. When my grandmother passed, I only told my teachers because they needed to know that I would be absent. Although my white counterparts were an open book, I always struggled to find a happy medium of what to share about my life that felt safe.
When the workday came to a close, I asked the other two black employees at my company to swing by my desk and told them about my cousin. At a small company of 20 people, they were the only two who felt safe.
