Alimi 1
"Leading up to
the @attitudemag awards event, I was really struggling massively with
Imposter syndrome.
"I read up a lot on the “success
downer” syndrome, something that I struggle with.
"After every achievement, I always
have a sense of emptiness and defeat and I just didn’t want to feel it this
time.
"All through the day, I kept telling
myself 10 reasons why I deserve this award, why this is important to me and why
I should cherish every moment.
"I didn’t write a speech cos I think I
might sound fake, but I am grateful to my husband who just kept me grounded
even when he had no idea what was going on in my head.
"How do you deal with imposter
syndrome during a very important moment in your life?"
