Jodi-Ann Burey

writer

Jodi-Ann Burey is a writer, speaker, and advocate known for her critical exploration of identity and authenticity in the workplace. Her debut book, 'Authent: The Myth of Bringing Your Full Self to Work,' challenges the notion that expressing one's authentic self at work is inherently positive, particularly for marginalized individuals. Drawing from her own experiences as a Black disabled woman navigating various corporate environments, Burey argues that such calls for authenticity often place undue burdens on individuals while allowing institutions to evade accountability. Through her blend of memoir, cultural commentary, and research, she invites readers to rethink how identity is perceived and engaged within organizational structures, advocating for a collective approach to authenticity that emphasizes equity and structural change.
