I’m the author of From Fraud to Freedom, a 5-star research-informed book on impostor syndrome which you can find on Amazon.

• I’ve decided to make a workbook specifically for Black people because many conversations around impostor syndrome do not focus enough on how the way people treat us creates the impostor syndrome we are then told to fix for ourselves.
• This workbook is a standalone piece and you do not need to have From Fraud to Freedom in order to benefit from the contents and strategies in this workbook.

Why do you have to make everything about race?

• It’s easy to seem like I’m making something about race when it’s not clear to you how race is already involved to begin with. If that’s the case, this workbook is not for you and that’s okay.

I’m very excited to provide actionable strategies in a digestible format through this workbook and I’m grateful for your help and support in the process!
