If you're new here, this is what you need to know about us ๐Ÿ‘‡

Toxic Work Spaces exists because too many professionals are carrying the weight of workplaces that harmed them and not enough spaces exist that name it plainly, hold it honestly, and offer a way through.

What began as a consultancy has become a multi-layered platform: part education, part community, part corporate intervention.

We work with individuals who need to process what happened to them, professionals building careers in environments that are still compromised, and organisations willing to do the harder work of cultural change before the breakdown, not after.

The ILO confirmed that 840,000 people die every year from conditions linked to workplace stress.

Leaders carry the weight of entire organisations in their bodies. And most of us haven't actually rested, not really, in a long, long time.

Are you a professional in Mombasa? Check this out

Together with Growth Bridge, we're inviting you to join us for a half-day corporate retreat for professionals eager to release, renew, and rise in unity. Whether you're looking to clarity, connection, or simply a chance to take a deep breath, consider this your invitation.

Corporate wellness doesn't sell readiness. It sells recovery.

By the time most companies bring in a wellness program, someone has already broken down, quietly resigned, or started making mistakes that cost the organisation.

Here is what nobody is saying out loud ๐Ÿ‘‡

Most of your employees are not fine. They are managing the fastest workplace shift in a generation with AI changing job descriptions in real time, workloads accelerating, and a quiet, creeping fear that they might not make it through.

That is a nervous system problem and no team-building day or lunch treat will fix that.

Your people need readiness before the breakdown and not after.

Soon, we'll be co-hosting Before the Breaking Point-A half-day corporate wellness/zen retreat built for the workplace you actually have right now.

We'll cover ๐Ÿ‘‡

๐Ÿ‘‰ Nervous system regulation, what dysregulation looks like in your team and how to interrupt it

๐Ÿ‘‰ How to spot burnout before it becomes resignation or breakdown

๐Ÿ‘‰ Practical solo wellness tools or things your people can do alone, quietly, in the middle of the day, to return to themselves

๐Ÿ‘‰ Naming AI-era pressure honestly so the fear stops being invisible and starts being workable

This is a half-day that your team will actually remember and need to fuel them through.

If your organisation is ready to stop waiting for the breaking point, send us a message and let's talk about how they can benefit from this, especially those in Mombasa.

This April, Toxic Work Spaces is hosting its first roundtable and the people saying yes to this conversation are not coming with polished answers. They are coming with honesty.

Charles Muthui, who told us work is quietly shaping your character in ways you don't even notice. Abi, who carries the version of herself that learned to notice things but wasn't safe enough to say them โ€” into every room she works in now. Doreen, who named the truth that the most important conversations about work are happening in the margins, away from the people with the power to change anything. And Moses, who sits across from people every day trying to piece themselves back together and traces the thread back, more often than not, to a workplace.

These are just some of the voices joining us. We'll feature more this week.

If you feel f*******cked up professionally, either recently or in the past few years, you're now in your late 20s, 30s or 40s and youโ€™re wondering if itโ€™s โ€œtoo lateโ€ to get back on track after leaving a toxic work space...itโ€™s not and we hope you find our page.

This page is also for those considering leaving a toxic work space and the ones who are quietly asking whether what happened to them was normal. It's also for the ones who are finally ready to name it, understand it, and figure out what comes next.

Toxic work doesn't just cost you time. It costs you confidence, clarity, and sometimes your whole professional identity.

But reinvention is not a young person's privilege. And starting over is not the same as starting from nothing.

If you found this page, welcome. You're in the right place and re-invention is possible.

Founder of Toxic Work Spaces (Official)

Shi Kang'ethe leads work at the intersection of AI governance, ethics, and people-centred AI adoption across Africa and her track record speaks for itself:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Facilitator of a two-part webinar series on the State of Women in AI with Youth+ Africa
๐Ÿ‘‰Contributing author to the State of AI Ethics Report 2025
๐Ÿ‘‰ Moderator, Gendering AI Conference 2024 and Co-curator 2025
๐Ÿ‘‰ Co-curator, African Women School of AI
๐Ÿ‘‰ Featured speaker in Global Solidarity in the Age of AI (Intercouncil Network โ€“ Canada)

In a world where AI is moving fast, most organisations donโ€™t fall behind because of the technology. They fall behind because people arenโ€™t equipped, governance isnโ€™t clear, and ethics are treated as an afterthought.

Shi Kang'ethe brings the opposite: clarity, responsibility and action.
Thatโ€™s exactly the kind of leadership we need as we shape the future of AI in Africa.

Did you know that women in the C-suite are leading at the highest levels while operating with a SOCIAL CAPITAL DEFICIT that their male counterparts have never had to navigate?

Women in leadership have been systematically shut out of the circles where social capital is built, shared and activated and that exclusion has a direct cost on their access, influence and advancement at the highest levels. We've concluded that it is not a personal failure but a structural reality and it is exactly why we are asking you to show up on 25th March 2026.

As co-hosts of Social Capital as Power For Women Leaders Toxic Work Spaces and Markline Centre For Leadership & Management Page are bringing together 20+ women in the C-suite for a conversation that addresses this social capital gap directly, practically and powerfully.

Remember, your seat is waiting.

Swipe to the second slide for more details about the workshop.

Date: 25th March 2026
Time: 6PM โ€” 8PM

As the founder of Toxic Work Spaces, I will be speaking at the Social Capital as Power For Women Leaders. This is a virtual workshop that Toxic Work Spaces is co-hosting alongside Markline Centre for Leadership and Management on 25th March 2026 from 6 PM- 8 PM.

There is a leadership gap that nobody names loudly and yet it is the single most consistent reason why brilliant, qualified and ambitious women plateau at the very top. It is not a confidence gap and it is not a skills gap. It is a social capital gap.

Social capital is the value that lives inside your relationships, the trust you have built, the reputation you carry into rooms before you arrive and the network that speaks for you when you are not present. It is the invisible infrastructure that determines who gets the call, who gets considered and who gets chosen when opportunity shows up and needs a name attached to it.

Women in the C-suite are leading with one hand tied behind their back delivering results and driving strategy while the access and influence they deserve continues to flow to those who understood the unspoken rules of power earlier. We want that gap to end here.

This workshop is exclusively for 20 women in the C-suite who are ready to close that gap and leverage their social capital as a deliberate leadership strategy rather than a lucky accident.

Slide 2 has more details about the workshop, investment fee we will be covering on the day.

Date: 25th March 2026
Time: 6PM โ€” 8PM (EAT)
Investment: Ksh 5,000
20 seats only

Register here ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://lnkd.in/dpa43-BJ and share this with a woman whose leadership deserves every door that social capital can open.

Are you a HR professional or people leader looking for a community that offers more than titles, panels, and surface-level networking?

We created HRBloom โ€”powered by Ltd because too many HR leaders, especially WOMEN, are carrying the hardest conversations alone. The ethical dilemmas. The people decisions that keep you up at night. The tension between policy and humanity. The quiet pressure to โ€œhold it togetherโ€ while supporting everyone else.

HRBloom is a CO-CREATED community, built across MAURITIUS, MADAGASCAR, and KENYA, rooted in real workplace realities across our markets. Itโ€™s a space where we share lived experiences, hard lessons, honest practices, and the truths of working in HR and leadership today. No posturing. No performative expertise. Just real conversations, collective learning, and cross-border perspective.

Anniella Isabelle Jeannot started HRBloom because she saw the need to have a table where HR leaders could speak freely, learn from each other, and grow togethe without judgment.

Today, this is a space shaped with the community, not for the community.

As one of the co-creators, we're extending an open invitation to female HR leaders and workplace leaders who are ready for depth, connection, and impact.

If youโ€™re looking for a community where your voice matters, your experience is valued, and your growth is collective, you'll love it here as this table was built for YOU.
