This is a beautiful talk. One little detail that stuck out to me was her realization that people in her community wouldn't be able to access what she was writing. It's really a relatable thing. Partly because of the use of language in academia, and partly because journal articles are priced under the assumption that you're an institution and not an independent reader (an individual article might cost $50 dollars). Making something that your community and loved ones wouldn't be able to access/understand is a certain kind of loneliness.
This was very powerful and I am in tears as I type this, because I am facing the realization that I often filter myself in the name of acceptance. I have started to show up as my authentic self and in my line of work, it is not comfortable. It is worth it though and I appreciate your bravery and courage to reflect and show up as your authentic self. Congratulations on your PhD as well.
I can see your soul shining through, You pushed through this and it was so amazing, we could all hear the passion in your voice. Loved it, so motivating
And this is why I choose to stay true to myself over appealing professional to anyone who doesn’t care or appreciate all of me. Loved this so much. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yesss 👏👏👏 it’s a game you literally can’t win. You either can’t present yourself well enough and you lose, or you present yourself so well you don’t know who you are anymore.
I'm a middle aged white woman teaching a career prep class (to a younger and diverse class of students) and I had the same sentiments as the speaker, but couldn't find the words. Rethinking professionalism is long overdue. At least tattoos and different hairstyles are more acceptable now.
Luxury or no luxury always be proud of your brand and try working to improve. I love luxurious lifestyles. All thanks to crypto I just got my first Lamborghini 💝. My advice to y'all invest in cryptocurrency or gold.

I would not call professionalism a representation of whiteness but rather sterilizeness. Maintaining the personable rather than personal presentation seems to scrub us bear. Erasing so much of who we are. I really appreciate your talk, thank you!
"PROFESSIONAL" is a common place/space where anyone or everyone can meet and not have to understand individual personalities to get things (usually business)done. Based on profession, industry,category everyone relates in specific terms that translates easy. Professionalism will always clash with personality because we are all diverse and different but common in our specialties.
The brackets are around the wrong letters! Whatever you put in brackets is there because it could be ignored. So your title is misleading. In this case (Be)coming Professional = Coming Professional! Not really what you were going for, right? You want to write Be(com)ing Professional = Being Professional!
There is a lot more to this. Do I get what she is saying? Yes to a certain extent but there is a lot more to this. Great video and I would really like to see more of her work. Very talented 👏🏿
Professionalism is not steeped in whiteness. Being on time, dressing nice, returning calls in a timely manner, and being respectful to others has nothing to do with race.
"identities, construct, own experiences, intersection, diversity, redefine" bla bla bla. Video description reads like a woke word salad. I won't be surprised if my comment gets deleted.
Sounds like she is slamming her own Doctoral program. And Austin is less diverse than motor city? I have been to both she has buried her head and resents her department. It also sounds like she just wants to ride on the current bandwagon. My guess is that plans to stay in academia and is trying to butter her bread.
She is talking about the divide between academia and beyond. Shows great gratitude toward her chair, department, and process as she strives to recover the voice within. She is not riding anyone's bandwagon but rather narrating her self holistically on her own terms within her specific experience, thus building her own type of transportation and creating new spaces for creativity and authentic expression
You just know it was going to end up being about race. Every. Single. Time. "How DARE the majority expect me to follow their guidelines while I'm in their spaces!"
You’re right, one should never forget their heritage. I’m sure, that you pronounce certain words differently as well... So, cheers to alll of the dialects, accents, & colloquial phrases found near and far. 🥂 Cheers to this beautiful, intelligent, & Educated Professional woman that rose from the “Hood” & is now impacting the world, in her career & on this platform!

common - the etiquette isn't common, it's one groups' etiquette.
It's not common, it's white.

Solid point. Professionalism says the standard is white and American is the standard. "White identity construct."
Yep and nowhere is more paranoid than LinkedIn. That's for sure!

This just sounds like she was too weak to hack it in the real world so shes complaining about it. She deserves to be in tears.
Sounds like she is slamming her own Doctoral program. And Austin is less diverse than motor city? I have been to both she has buried her head and resents her department. It also sounds like she just wants to ride on the current bandwagon. My guess is that plans to stay in academia and is trying to butter her bread.

Diversity preaching again?
Lol.
You just know it was going to end up being about race. Every. Single. Time.
"How DARE the majority expect me to follow their guidelines while I'm in their spaces!"
Fortunately, we know who the true “majority “ are..
Sorry but these are All our spaces...another sorry you just won't get it but that's not my concern
@@latoyayoung919 Then stop complaining. If you have to beg for power, you have none in that space.
@@KennyGee you may be right in that sense ...compiling our own resources may be the best way! thanks for your tid bit
especially if the "majority" thinks like you.
Watching this gave me Down syndrome.
Axed instead of asked... Still hearing some hoodism there. Hahaha
