From personal branding to personality tests, corporate culture to cultural stereotypes, this episode explores how identity is shaped, masked, marketed, and reclaimed. Shaniqua and Stephanie unpack the tension between authenticity and acceptance at work and in society—challenging the labels we inherit, the roles we play, and the stories we’re told to believe about ourselves.
Topics include: identity at work, Myers-Briggs, astrology, stereotypes vs. archetypes, queer representation, and self-acceptance as quiet revolution.
