198 Facing the Fire PT 4: Rethinking Imposter Syndrome in Academia
Imposter syndrome, as defined, is that nagging feeling that your achievements are merely luck rather than a reflection of your hard work and capabilities. Kemi emphasizes that while this feeling is common, it can be misdiagnosed.
This discussion is not just about feeling inadequate; it’s about recognizing the difference between genuine skill gaps and the emotional turmoil that can accompany holding a marginalized identity in a predominantly white space.
Listen now as Kemi invites us to reflect on our experiences and consider how we can face the fire of self-awareness.
