Racial Imposter Syndrome

Personal Experience and Interview Piece

Abstract

This piece talks about my personal experience with racial imposter syndrome as well as interviews about it. It dives into the struggles I have experienced while living a double life and how I have grown from it as I got older. Racial imposter syndrome can be described as being unconnected or feeling inauthentic to parts of their racial identity and culture or as when a person feels internally connected to a racial identity that is not perceived by others which causes doubt in their racial self-perception.

For additional context, listen to the author's reflection on the piece below.
