STRIVE East Harlem: Rob Carmona

Rob Carmona: Attorney Marjorie Sharpe spoke outside federal court in Manhattan Tuesday after 38-year-old Brandi Johnson was awarded $30,000 in punitive damages. The jury had awarded $250,000 in compensatory damages last week against STRIVE East Harlem and its founder, Rob Carmona, according to 660 News. Johnson said she wants the message of the case to be that the word wont be tolerated no matter what your race is and NEW YORK, N.Y. A lawyer for a black woman whose hostile workplace claim against a black bosss N-word rant produced a $280,000 jury award says she hopes society has learned something. She said she hopes her clients quest for justice against a four-minute tirade of slurs by Carmona last year helps eliminate the most offensive word in the English language.
