I got promoted at work recently and one of my first thoughts was “what if they only gave me this promotion because I’m a minority and they’re trying to have better diversity stats?”
So clear-headed and true, Natasha. I love your writing. And on imposter syndrome, it's a mind game for sure (I struggled for years w/ it), but I mean, no one can fake narrative writing (especially longform), it's far too hard! After a certain number of stories, I was like, "Welp, read THAT" to my own mind. So I'm starting to settle down at last.
Articulate, lucid & polished piece.
