Short excerpt from a YouTube video ("Why Imposter Syndrome Cheats You") in which a single speaker rejects imposter syndrome as harmful—especially for women—and frames it as a force that allows the world to diminish and take advantage of competent women. The speaker offers an empowering, declarative refusal of that mindset.

Imposter syndrome does not serve you if you are a good person who knows their shit as women, especially if you are a woman in this world that has done so much to diminish us. You do not benefit from imposter syndrome. The world does. Because then the world gets to cheat you, take advantage of you, tell you you're not dope when you dope as hell. So I'm just like, imposter syndrome doesn't serve me.
