Jaime’s Answer

Hi Selena. As a minority woman, I also deal with Imposter Syndrome. It's pretty common among successful women, no matter their background. I believe this feeling can actually push us to do better. Instead of letting it hold you back, use it to your advantage. It can drive you to work harder and learn more, and you might find you're more qualified than you think. As you advance in your career, you'll meet other high-achieving women who feel the same way. It's just a part of what makes us unique.

Cecilia Alondra’s Answer

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!
