In my younger years, I didnāt speak to myself in the best way.
I wasnāt negative, exactly, but I definitely didnāt give myself the credit I deserved. Iād downplay my progress instead of owning it, holding back from recognizingāor even bragging aboutāmy accomplishments.
Why do we do that?
Maybe itās imposter phenomena. Maybe itās the belief that humility means minimizing ourselves.
Either way, itās a mindset I had to reframe.
Now, I remind myself: I earned my position. The progress Iāve made is real, and it matters. Downplaying it isnāt being modestāitās being unfair to myself. Reframing how I speak to myself made all the difference.
And this doesnāt just apply to me.
I see it in students all the time. How often have you heard (or even said), āI suck at math,ā or something similar?
That simple phrase shows how easily we shut ourselves down before even trying.
Instead of āI suck at math,ā I encourage students to say, āI donāt understand this *yet.*ā That one wordā*yet*āleaves the door open for growth. It acknowledges that while you may not have it down today, you can get there.
Success starts with what we say to ourselves. If you think, āIām not good enough,ā youāre likely to believe it.
But when you say, āIām still learning,ā or, āIāve come a long way, and Iām capable of more,ā you set yourself up for progress.
So, if youāve ever doubted yourself, remember:
Youāre not alone.
Reframe that doubt into something that gives you room to grow and step into the role youāve earned.
Whatās one way youāve caught yourself speaking negativelyāand how did you reframe it?

Animation has this incredible way of reinterpreting the world around us.
Yāall remember that *Boondocks* episode where Martin Luther King Jr. didnāt die but woke up in the present day after being in a coma?
He looked around and was shocked.
Shocked by how far weāve comeāand how much weād let slip. Aaron McGruder wasnāt afraid to call us out, and honestly, he had a point.
Itās a reminder that honoring Kingās legacy means more than reflecting on the past. Itās about asking ourselves:
Are we still moving forward?
Are we keeping his energy alive?
Kingās grit and vision werenāt just inspirationalāthey were a call to action.
His words still resonate deeply:
"I want young men and young women who are not alive today to know and see that these new privileges and opportunities did not come without somebody suffering and sacrificing for them."
For me, my first REA introduction to Dr. King wasnāt in the classroomāit was through the animated movie
Our Friend, Martin.*Watching it as a kid, I was in awe.
Martin was cool.
He stood for what was right, even when it cost him everything.
But I also remember being confused.
How could someone so committed to helping others face so much hate?
In the movie, Miles wanted to save Kingāto stop the pain and the sacrifice. Watching that, I felt the same way. But as I grew, I realized something powerful: King didnāt endure what he did for himself. He endured it for usāfor progress, for change, and for a future where equality is more than a dream.
One memory always stands out for me. My grandfather had a picture of King in his officeāhim sitting alone in a chair, looking tired.
That image said so much.
King was exhaustedāof course, he was!
He faced threats, arrests, and unimaginable pressure. But he kept going because he knew the mission wasnāt over.
Thatās the lesson I carry with me today: even when weāre tired, we have to keep going.
If King were alive today, I believe heād be proud of the progress weāve made. No, the dream isnāt fully realizedānot yet. But the strides weāve taken matter. The torch has been passed, and itās on us to keep moving forward.
Letās not let division stop the progress weāve fought so hard for. As Our Friend, Martin taught me, itās not about changing the pastāitās about committing to a better future.
Whatās one way youāll honor Dr. Kingās legacy this week? What progress inspires you to keep going?

I helped a STEM student overcome 3 years of imposter syndrome in just one semester.
When she first reached me, she was considering leaving her major altogether. Despite her competence and numerous publications, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was "faking it."
The surprising breakthrough?
It wasn't about adding more credentials or achievements. It was about unlearning the beliefs that kept her doubting her expertise.
Today, she graduated and she's not only thriving in her position but mentoring other women in STEM, creating a ripple effect of confidence throughout her department.
If you are feeling out of place despite your achievements, I've developed a framework that's helped hundreds overcome imposter syndrome and reclaim their confidence.
Stay Tuned.

The most brilliant sugar processing invention in history was rejected by every major American factory.
It was 1846 in New Orleans. Steam burns and deadly accidents were just "part of the job" in sugar processing. Everyone accepted this as normal. But one man couldn't stop seeing the bodies being carried out of those factories. The solution was crystal clear in his mind - if only they'd let him through the front door.
Here's the twist: while American factories refused to let Norbert Rillieux even install his own invention because of his race, every sugar crystal you've eaten today was likely processed using his method.
It made me think about how often we let prejudice blind us to brilliance. How many innovations are we missing because we're too busy judging the inventor instead of the invention? When I first learned about Rillieux - born to a French plantation owner and an enslaved mother - I was struck by how he responded to rejection. Instead of giving up, he took his genius to France, where he became a celebrated professor and engineer.
I used to think success meant proving everyone wrong. But Rillieux's story taught me something different: sometimes success means finding the right table instead of begging for a seat at the wrong one.
You know what's wild? The same factories that wouldn't let him in later had to pay to use his methods.
And guess what?
His multiple-effect evaporator didn't just make sugar processing safer and more efficient - it proved that genius has no color.
Innovation sees no color - it only sees solutions.
What brilliant ideas are we missing because we're too busy looking at who's presenting them rather than what they're presenting?

āespecially when it pushes us out of our comfort zones.
But here's the thing: growth and change are inseparable.
When we take that leap of faith, we allow ourselves to evolve into someone stronger, more resilient, and more authentic.
Change often requires us to:
- Shed old habits
- Let go of outdated beliefs
- Distance ourselves from relationships that no longer serve our growth
This process can be painful and isolating
These moments of discomfort help us discover our true inner strength. The courage to change is the courage to grow.
In my journey, I've learned that it's not about avoiding changeāit's about embracing it.
When we do, we unlock our potential, exceed our expectations, and step into the person we're meant to become.
Growth = change, and change, while challenging, is always worth it.
Don't Be Scared to let go of what no longer serves you. Instead, focus on who you are becoming.
Your future self will thank you for it.
