I Didn’t Learn About Black Fashion In My Textbooks

In September 2021, I started my role as the Style and Culture Specialist at Unbothered. Stepping into the role was exciting but also scary. The ideas and stories I wanted to tell didn’t stop me from feeling waves of imposter syndrome. I started to question my ability, knowledge, and preparation for the role.
