Embracing Your Voice

In this week's episode, we delve into the complexities of authenticity and specifically imposter syndrome in professional settings with our esteemed guest, Jodi-Ann Burey. She is a renowned speaker, writer, and cancer survivor whose work intersects race, culture, and health equity. She is also the creator and host of the impactful podcast, Black Cancer.

She challenges traditional notions of authenticity and imposter syndrome being something that women and folks of marginalized identities have to overcome, because it's a function of the systemic biases and exclusionary practices prevalent in many workplaces
