Breaking the Chains of Inferiority: Reclaiming God’s Truth
We are conditioned by societal schemes to internalize inferiority, fostering imposter syndrome—especially in matters of race. But you are not inferior. You are a creation of God, and God does not make mistakes. His design is intentional, His purpose is perfect, and His creation reflects His divine wisdom.
Some ways racial conditioning can manifest as acting inferior:
- Code-switching to diminish authenticity—feeling pressured to change speech, behavior, or interests to align with dominant cultural norms, fearing rejection or judgment.
- Second-guessing achievements—believing success is due to luck or a mistake rather than talent and hard work, minimizing accomplishments.
- Hesitating to take up space—avoiding leadership roles, opportunities, or visibility due to internalized doubt about worthiness.
- Accepting unfair treatment silently—not advocating for oneself when faced with discrimination or bias, believing suffering is inevitable or deserved.
- Downplaying intelligence—avoiding intellectual conversations or withholding ideas due to fears of seeming “too ambitious” or “too outspoken.”
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." — Psalm 139:13-14
You are fearfully and wonderfully made—never let the world convince you otherwise. Stand firm in your divine identity.
