REPRESENTED with Annie Gichuru
Welcome to REPRESENTED, the podcast.
This is your weekly dose of inspiration that’ll support you to build a racially inclusive online business without letting the fear of getting it wrong get in the way. These episodes will provide insights, strategies, and discussions that break down barriers and empower you to navigate the racial equity landscape.
I’m Annie Gichuru, your host as well as a Racial Equity Coach who supports online business owners such as coaches, course creators, membership owners and group program facilitators. It’s my calling in nature and ability to break-down complex and often uncomfortable conversations around race that has seen me teach over 100 online business owners to be more racially inclusive through my online program REPRESENTED.
Be sure to subscribe, rate and review so this podcast can reach more online business owners and begin to not only normalise racial inclusion in the online coaching space but see us actively shift our perspectives.

63. The Performance of Being Enough
What if your need to constantly prove yourself… wasn’t just about ambition?
What if it came from years of being told, directly or silently, that who you are isn’t quite right?
In this tender and personal episode, I’m speaking directly to women of colour. To the ones who’ve softened their accent, hidden their cultural identity, overachieved, and overworked… just to be seen as “enough.”
I share my story of leaving Kenya, adapting to life in Australia, and the silent performance I took on from changing how I spoke, dressed, and worked, to tying my worth to degrees, promotions, and productivity.
Together, we explore:
🎙 How colonial influence shows up in our everyday choices
🎙 The cost of constantly trying to fit in or prove ourselves
🎙 What healing can look like when we begin to honour who we are, as we are
This episode is for every woman of colour who's ever been told...without words...that she has to shrink to succeed. You don’t.
