Quotes from the episode

We start to question ourselves, and that feeling is really uncomfortable.

-Ijeoma Nwaogu

One word that I use in the book is called imposterize.

-Ijeoma Nwaogu

It's so valuable to be around diverse folks, folks who are different from you, but it's so important to also be in with like-minded folks, folks who look like you, folks who have similar beliefs because that can be reinforcing of who you are and to let you know that you are enough.

-Ijeoma Nwaogu

Presence is far more important than someone's performance.

-Ijeoma Nwaogu
