The US government is seeing an exodus of Black staff members, dubbed by some as “blaxit”. At least 21 African American employees have left or are planning to leave the White House since 2021, according to Politico.
“We’re here and we’re doing a lot of work but we’re not decision-makers and there’s no real path towards becoming decision-makers,” a current African American White House official told Politico on condition of anonymity. “There is no real feedback and there’s no clear path to any kind of promotions.”
