## Resource

Who defines what “professional” is anyway?! How we show up in spaces that weren’t built with us in mind, how we own our authority instead of asking for it, and what it takes to stand our ground when a fellow “professional” needs to be checked. Plus: what we’re loving about our lives right now, things in the world that aren’t complete trash, and a shoutout to the Obamas & Mamdanistan! 🖤 If you’re more of a visuals girlie, catch up on our YouTube channel AAAND… 💌 Send us a letter or question to be featured on the show, heyhowtobereal@gmail.com 😉 Subscribe for more conversations that go beneath the surface 🎧 Find us on Apple + Spotify 📩 Join our Substack: How To Be Real This is a public episode.
