  • Episode 4: Tackling Imposter Syndrome
    Jul 28 2022

    Imposter syndrome is often described as feeling like a fraud or feeling the pressure to achieve in new environments. Whether you're starting a new job, entering college, or starting graduate school, join the conversation with our guest Catie Williams who shares how she manages her experiences with imposter syndrome. I hope you can appreciate an honest and transparent conversation about feeling out of place and hear, firsthand, how a young Black female attempts to manage these emotions.
