Fear will give you a thousand reasons to wait.
Wait until you're more qualified.
Wait until you're more confident.
Wait until you look more like the people already doing it.
I've had to learn that waiting for permission can become its own kind of prison.
There were rooms I was afraid to enter because I didn't see many people who looked like me in them. I questioned whether a Black woman, a single mother from South Central, could really take up that much space.
Then I realized I was asking the wrong question.
I didn't need to become somebody else to belong in the room.
I needed to become fully myself.
And when I stopped trying to fit someone else's blueprint and gave myself permission to bring all of me to the table, everything changed.
So let me ask you something.
Who are you becoming that is still waiting on your permission?
