Recommendation

If you’re a Black woman struggling to assert yourself in the workplace and achieve your full potential, you’re not alone. Gain insights from writer and college professor Elizabeth Leiba about the root causes of your so-called imposter syndrome and how to hold white people accountable for microaggressions. Leiba urges you to start writing your own life narrative to unlock opportunities and connect with a community of Black women who share your values. While you may feel tempted to conform to a predominantly white work culture, Leiba reminds you that there’s nothing “unprofessional” about your true identity.

Take-Aways

  • Overcome self-limiting beliefs and step into your authenticity and power.
  • When the world tries to silence and shrink you, embrace your true voice.
  • Stop blaming yourself for imposter syndrome when others treat you like an outsider.
