Abstract
This case study explores an instance of microaggressive communication occurring at an organizational professional meeting. The case examines how “You're very smart for a Black woman” functions as a microinsult. Though intended as a compliment, this chapter illustrates the negative impact of this racially biased and stereotypical communicative act. This case study adds further credence to the everyday slights and indignities experienced by Black women academics, who represent an understudied population within organizational communication.
