To be liked or authentic, that is the question. Inspired by an Essence magazine op-ed from Jasmine Rowley about Amanda Seals and the contentious idea that being likable trumps competence in our professional lives, we'll unravel what it truly means to be pleasant and agreeable, and at what cost. Is fitting in worth the sacrifice of our authenticity?  Or is being your true self affecting your ability to survive?  We'll explore the subtle pressures black women face to conform to societal archetypes, the toll it takes on our self-esteem, and the internal battles we wage between the desire for acceptance and the urge to be unequivocally ourselves. Get ready for a deeply personal journey, as we tackle these questions and uncover the price of likability versus the cost of being true to who we are. So, take a deep breath, and let's get started.
