• Your and college’s name
• 3 or more ways in which this type of oppression manifests itself in the workplace using specific examples

• 3 or more ways to be an ally and limit this type of oppression in the workplace (supported with research, facts, data, and/or policies)
• APA-formatted in-text citations and references for 2 or more scholarly or professional sources
Besides including all 6 required components listed above, you will also need to design a neat, professional, and visually engaging infographic. Follow the instructions and tips in Canvas to create your infographic.
