Emotional Abuse Is Real
Performative Allyship in MLMs With Luana Barajas, M.Ed
On today’s episode, we’re talking more about emotional abuse in multi-level marketing companies with my guest, Luana Barajas. Luana lives in Southern California, she’s a mom to three kids, works full-time as a middle school teacher, and recently published her debut novel, V.
As a Latina in a predominantly white MLM, Luana experienced not only the typical predatory behavior of MLMs but also performative allyship toward BIPOC consultants following the murder of George Floyd. This blatantly racist behavior drove her to quit the company once and for all.
