Fun Fact
I successfully got one of my highly toxic bosses FIRED... and she was a union employee.
Hey, I'm Diedra!
I’m Diedra, founder of Stigma On The Clock. I equip neurodivergent and chronically ill workers with scripts, documentation systems, and strategy to get accommodations, reduce harm, and keep your job security intact.
Having faced toxic management and HR, accommodation denials, and systemic ableism myself, I decided it's time to empower folks like me to confidently navigate challenges, secure accommodations, and transform their careers into fulfilling roles that highlight their strengths and sustain employment without the emotional anguish and burnout.
I built the systems and tools I wish I had from day one. Now it’s yours.
With a rebellious yet empathetic spirit, I break down complex protections into clear, actionable steps, helping you move from fear to clarity and advocate unapologetically. Tell me where it hurts, and we’ll make it right!

★ What I do
- Translate ADA, FMLA, and EEOC guidance into plain-language steps.
- Write the emails and meeting scripts you need for requests, follow-ups, and appeals.
- Build documentation systems that turn “he said/she said” into timelines and evidence.
- Coach you through strategy: what to disclose, when, and to whom—safely.
★ How we work together
- Safety first: we plan for retaliation, paper trails, and capacity.
- Minimal spoons required: short steps, copy‑paste templates, automation where possible.
- Consent and privacy: your story, your control. No pressure to over-disclose.
- Systemic lens: you aren’t the problem. We optimize your choices inside a hostile system.
★ What I’m like to work with
- Protective strategist with punk energy and zero tolerance for corporate euphemisms and platitudes.
- Analytical and candid, with a calm, steady presence when things feel chaotic.
- I respect your capacity. We design tiny, potent steps that still move the needle.
- Personality: curious, precise, deeply feeling, allergic to B.S.
★ Values and boundaries
- Your dignity is non-negotiable.
- We don’t fix you to fit an abusive system. We build leverage, boundaries, and exits.
- You deserve accommodations without apology.
Who this supports
★ Neurodivergent folks (ADHD, autism, dyslexia, AuDHD, and more)
★ Chronically ill and those with mental health conditions
★ Workers with learning differences
★ People most targeted by marginalization: Black and brown, queer and trans, and late‑diagnosed workers
★ Anyone exhausted by masking, moving goalposts, and HR’s “family” talk that turns into deny/deflect
Why this matters
You deserve a workplace that fits your body and brain. Until the systems change, we use the tools we’ve got—law, documentation, boundaries, and community—to reduce harm and protect your job. This is advocacy that respects your privacy and your limits.
