Hello, Selena!
Cecilia here from Mexico, brown and with same Imposter Syndrome and I feel you, trust me!. What works for me was the exact same thing in reverse: I wanted to be the brown woman lawyer I admired but in my own particular and updated version and embracing it. I had got inspired by several Mexican lawyers and I was like: I just want to be one of them, if I work hard I can be one of them. Take it as an advantage and be proud of yourself , if your mind keep talking like imposter, control it make it talk to you like a winner! Be delulu for good and proud of it, I promise you it works!
