I want to be very clear, and very honest with you:

I do not have imposter syndrome. I’ve never had it. Not once. I truly believe I deserve to be in every room I enter, I think I’m worthy of every seat I’ve had at the table, and if we’re being really truthful, I’m mostly annoyed I’m not in more rooms and around more tables. I think I have worked far harder than I should have for what I’ve got. I believe I’ve been denied jobs, opportunities and funds that my male peers have not. I think I deserve to have it all.

Thank you for being here. Sign up below for more, but only if you can afford it. I know times are tough and I don’t take your hard-earned pennies lightly. A thousand thanks.
