 This episode is a shared journey through the complexities of who we are and who we aspire to be. Whitney sits down with Kendra, the creator of Crushgasm Podcast, and together they peel back the layers of imposter syndrome where it entwines with race and their personal passions.  Kendra shares about her experiences with emo and pop-punk scenes as a person of color, we tackle the pressures that come with standing out in professional spaces and the courage required to forge your own narrative against the grain of societal norms.

Our conversation meanders through the landscape of freelance writing and education, highlighting the pigeonholing that comes with racial expectations and the hunger for diverse representation. Whitney shares tales of feeling "too white" in Black spaces and the impact that has had on her career trajectory, while Kendra opens up about her role as a mixed race woman working in schools as an instructional aide, emphasizing the power of relatable figures for children. Whitney and Kendra stitch together a story of pursuing a career that reflects who they truly are, despite the external narratives and preconceived ideas that often come our way.

Wrapping up with some levity, Kendra reflects on her journey and aspirations, from her love of pop culture, her podcast, and her forever dream of writing  for 'Saturday Night Live.' This conversation is sprinkled with laughter, affirmations, and the mantras we lean on while navigating career and identity.
