2. The Intersectionality of Imposter Syndrome and Race with my Sista Circle Pt. 2
Impostrix Podcast07/25/23 • 42 min
What does racial aggression look like in a "professional" work environment? How can I protect my peace, my energy, and my mental health in work situations that involve racial aggression? How do we balance sticking up for ourselves with our professional duty to the individual causing us harm? In Part 2 of the Sista Circle Episodes, sister/friend Sarah shares her personal experiences of racial aggression and imposter syndrome in her legal career. She recounts a shocking incident in court and the challenges she faced as a woman of color navigating a predominantly white legal environment. Rhonda and Whitney share their experiences with white people commenting on their appearance, and the sisters/friends talk about some options we have when these situations happen.
Those options include addressing the behavior head on, making light of the behavior and keeping it moving, and ignoring it all together. Each response has it's own benefits and drawbacks. Which do you use?
The podcast discusses strategies to protect mental health and confidence while confronting racial biases and microaggressions in the workplace. Listeners will gain insights into conflict resolution, self-empowerment, and finding support in professional settings. The episode highlights the importance of self-advocacy, protecting energy when we can, and moving forward in our power. We are not alone, and we will not be gaslit!
