Imposter Syndrome is different for people of colour.
You don’t just feel like an imposter, you are one. For your white peers and colleagues, Imposter syndrome is an internal battle against self doubt. But for you, Imposter syndrome is also an external battle against systemic bias. It’s like fighting a war on two fronts.
I challenge you to step up
You’re the only one in the room. There are almost no leaders who look like you. The system is broken, and it needs to change. But in this book, I challenge you to step into the arena and play your part.

I’ve always been an imposter. I know what it’s like to feel like a fraud, think your success is down to luck and fear being exposed.
