The Cohort Sistas Podcast
Dr. Monét Roberts on Impostor Syndrome, Celebrating All of Your Small Wins, and Life-Changing Mentors
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Black people have been marginalized and disadvantaged throughout history, but instead of allowing this to make you feel like you are not capable or worthy of greatness, let it instead fuel you and inspire you and motivate you to face up to every challenge that is thrown at you. That is the message that Dr. Monét Roberts has to share with us today. As a student who struggled with math, with a school supervisor who didn’t see the potential in her, Monet now holds a doctorate in biomedical engineering. In today’s episode, Dr. Roberts talks about the people who helped get her to this point, her passion for helping others excel on their own journeys, and the fascinating cancer research that she is involved with. Dr. Roberts knows all about impostor syndrome, and she opens up about the strategies that she utilizes to overcome that feeling that is all too common amongst people doing exceptional work. Don’t ever surrender your potential to the limited imaginations of others; believe in yourself, be audacious and lift others as you climb.
