Hard, direct, critical feedback related to inequity is an invaluable gift, not an affront. It should be received with gratitude. In most organizations leaders view that feedback as an affront and reward silence and complicity with inequity, often under the guise of "community."

Many thanks to @JaredCouncil and team, and also to @IBJIYONGI for recommending me. And since some folk don’t know, the artwork behind me pays homage to my alma mater @ncatsuaggies! It was a special gift from @nccuaka.
"People really needed this... A way to feel connected and feel seen and heard and understood."

In reality the root of this fraud feeling is a result of systematic bias & exclusion! & rather than naming that, society aka the academy found another term to cover it up & name the experiences of marginalized communities that places blame on the person rather than the system

Today, April 13,2022 I am no longer using the term “imposter syndrome”. Last night Dr.@atachine informed me this concept was developed by two white women to explain why minoritized folks feel like outsiders or face self-doubt
