101. Fear of being seen isn't just you - it's systematic oppression
Description
Fear of Being Seen Isn’t You—It’s Systematic Oppression
What if the fear of being seen isn’t your “inner critic”? What if it’s centuries of systematic oppression dressed up as self-doubt?
In this raw, soul-level episode, I take you through a deeply personal reflection on growing up in Utah as a Colombian immigrant, being socialized in whiteness, and how that shaped my early visibility wounds.
We talk about:
- Why fears around visibility often aren’t about you—they’re about survival
- The influence of race, gender, class, and culture on how we’re taught to “take up space”
- What happens when white mediocrity goes viral—and your brilliance gets overlooked
- How your lived experience is your leadership, even if no one handed you the mic
- Why deep branding is liberation work for marginalized entrepreneurs
This isn’t a fluffy episode. It’s an invocation. If you’ve ever wondered why being visible feels so vulnerable, emotional, or even dangerous—this one is for you.
