Using her work experience as a backdrop, the platform gives voice to those with similar stories and with experts who offer practical and tangible tips to navigate hostile environments, including strategic steps to leave these abusive relationships. With the assistance of mental health, medical, employment and legal professionals, and more, Allen provides a safe place for honest and uncomfortable conversations about workplace trauma, which is supported by solutions to improve work culture and heal hearts for people to thrive and prosper. After 21 years anchoring the 5pm, 5:30pm, 6pm, and 11pm news broadcasts at NBC WTHR in Indianapolis, Indiana, seven-time Emmy Award-winning journalist Andrea Morehead Allen literally walked off the job without warning on June 5, 2020. She had been silently navigating workplace hostility and racial discrimination during her career at the station. The experience was further compounded, beginning April 2018, by her public health battle with triple negative breast cancer, which is the deadliest form for black women. Allen filed a federal discrimination lawsuit against the company, but she rejected the financial settlement and refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement, all to retain her legal right to share her story. The purpose of the lawsuit was to assist in the national conversation about racism, sexism, and discrimination, and how both effect people of color in disparate work opportunities, compensation, mental and physical health, and beyond. She’s spent almost 30 years sharing the inspirational stories of others, but her own experience is the biggest story of her career. Allen’s goal is to support people who are suffering from workplace disrespect, mistreatment, and marginalization, and to assist them in finding peace and freedom.

At any given moment and warning, you could be thrust back into the past of your traumatic experiences. It took me three years to work through the pain and not cry or be angry all over again when talking about my 21-year career at my former television station. Which words or phrases are triggers for you? Here are a few of the words that are part of my everyday life that thrust me back into the past. The PTSD is very real.

All forms of media shape our opinions which often dictate how we see and treat others. Compounded with the lack of social interaction, communication, and relationship on a personal level with people outside our core culture, the biases and prejudices creep into our decision-making processes at work. Uncomfortable and honest conversations are necessary to begin dismantling discriminatory perceptions that support aggressive behaviors.

No longer are you bound by trying to protect everyone else but yourself. When you are finally free in mind and spirit, you can see the truth for what it is and move in a way that honors your new present and future. In this episode, I share more examples of workplace hostility, micro-aggressions, and gaslighting that began 15 years ago when being passed over for a promotion set up the environment for long lasting ramifications.

Science now supports the fact that extreme stress can cause cancer and other severe illnesses. In retrospect, winning my cancer battle prepared me to face the reality that I was in danger from the hostile and toxic work environment, and to choose myself and my family over a job.

Her decision to leave stunned the city but more surprising was the reason. For years, she was holding a secret about the bullying, mobbing, discrimination, and mobbing that she bravely now shares to shine a light on this pervasive problem in workplaces across the country.

Over 70 million people in the U.S. experience some form of psychological abuse that has been written off as normal workplace behavior. But it's not normal for your job to cause mental and physical distress that can lead to suicide.

Andrea shares the similar stories of others and offers educational support from therapists, attorneys, and lawmakers to educate and raise awareness about this burgeoning problem. She's a fierce advocate of the Workplace Psychological Safety Act (WPSA) that provides an independent investigation of abuse claims and holds companies legally accountable for failing to protect their employees.

She serves as the Indiana Co-Bill Director for the national group End Workplace Abuse (EWA) that sponsors the WPSA and also as the Broadcast Journalist for EWA.
