As high-achieving black women, many of us deal with what is now called Racial Imposter Syndrome. Racial Imposter Syndrome is the feeling that we don’t belong because those around us in our homogenous communities make it known that we are not being black enough for one reason or another.
From coaching my clients I’ve come to realize that this is a very common theme. They get to a point where they struggle with the decision to go after big epic goals because it feels like the further they go the more isolated they feel. Success for them means that culturally they aren’t black enough.
Why is it that descriptions such as successful, educated, and articulate are reserved only for white people, as though a black person can only ever be uneducated and ratchet?
In this episode, we’ll discuss how we can shake this feeling of not being black enough so that we can let the mask down and be our authentic selves. And if you want more help with cleaning up your thoughts, consider joining my upcoming group coaching program, Rooted, where I will show you how to stop feeling ashamed about your success and how to partner with your self-sabotaging patterns and make them your superpowers.
