On this episode from @ewbpod, Mahlon (@SuperMahrio) and Steph (@Badass.Shaldas) have a conversation about possessing enough discernment to appreciate the difference between knowing 'your sh--' and 'you're sh--'.

⠀

We discuss how diversity *is* a hireable competency, the need to be pragmatic and flexible enough to absorb from those and that which surrounds you and how even when in possession of a strong sense of identity & a clear track record, imposter syndrome can still seek to derail.

Embracing Blackness and knowing that it can't (and shouldn't) be hidden reduces its ability to be used as a weapon - one can't expose something that has already been accepted and willingly put out there. Having a good sense of self reduces the power that self-doubt and discomfort can have in being tools of distraction that prevent you from getting where you're seeking to go.
