Imposter What?!

In this solita, solita episode, Rosanna Alvarez reflects on her frustrations with how rampant "imposter syndrome" has become as a fuel for self doubt. She calls out the dynamics involved in devaluing the work of women of color and declares imposter syndrome a misnomer that deflects from the true accountability of the hostile exclusion of our knowledge, experience, and expertise. She ends this episode by reminding us that what pulls us through is our community and the collective naming of the actual issues that lead us to absorb an expectation of accountability that is not ours to hold.
