Start: Thursday, February 13, 2025 at 12:00 AM GMT

This is a virtual event


Invisible Women: Being a Black Woman in Corporate America is a compelling and unfiltered documentary that exposes the harsh realities faced by Black women navigating the corporate world. Through deeply personal interviews and powerful storytelling, the film sheds light on the systemic racism, gender discrimination, and workplace abuse that often leave Black women feeling undervalued, isolated, and overlooked.

Produced by Head Not The Tail Productions, LLC (2016), Invisible Women combines firsthand accounts, expert analysis, and statistical insights to reveal the structural inequities that persist in corporate spaces. This groundbreaking film not only amplifies the voices of those who have endured these challenges but also challenges us all to reimagine workplaces where inclusion, equity, and psychological safety are the standard.

This is more than a documentary—it’s a call to action. Join us as we uncover truths, honor resilience, and work together to build a future where no one is invisible.


Standing Together for Workplace Justice

This screening takes on a special urgency as we reflect on the tragic loss of Dr. Antoinette “Bonnie” Candia-Bailey, a dedicated higher education leader whose life was cut short by workplace abuse. Dr. Candia-Bailey, a Vice President at Lincoln University in Missouri, endured relentless bullying by President John Moseley and faced institutional complicity that dismissed her complaints. After months of being ignored and further victimized, she tragically took her own life on January 8, 2024, at the age of 49.

Her story is a devastating reminder of the profound harm inflicted by toxic workplaces and the institutional systems that fail to protect employees. Workplace abuse, including racial and gender discrimination, is not an individual issue. It is systemic, rooted in hierarchies and power dynamics that privilege some while harming others. Employers, shielded by legal loopholes, often escape accountability for failing to provide safe environments, leaving countless survivors and victims, like Dr. Candia-Bailey, to suffer in silence.


A Call to Action: Justice for Bonnie

Through this screening, we honor Dr. Candia-Bailey’s legacy and stand in solidarity with the countless survivors of workplace abuse. Invisible Women is more than a film; it is a rallying cry for justice, equity, and the dismantling of toxic workplace cultures that disproportionately harm Black women, BIPOC employees, and other marginalized groups.

We demand accountability from employers, justice for survivors, and transformative change in how workplaces operate. Psychological safety is not a privilege — it is a human right. By coming together, we continue the fight to end racial and gender discrimination and to create workplaces that are truly inclusive and free from abuse.

Let this screening inspire action and ignite meaningful change. Together, we fight for those who are here and those who are no longer with us. We demand justice for Bonnie.
