30: Who Left Me In Charge?—Featuring Special Guest Sarah Anthony by The Speak Easy Podcast

This episode, we're welcoming a special guest: Democratic nominee from House District 68 Sarah Anthony. As District 3 Ingham County Commissioner, Sarah was the youngest African-American woman to serve as County Commissioner in in the nation. She's also Deputy Director of Partnerships and Advocacy at the Michigan College Access Network. Impressive resume aside, Sarah's a woman with an inspiring background and even more exciting future. Together, we discuss the age-old question: who left me in charge?

Sarah lives by a simple mantra: you belong here. She writes this on the front page of every notebook she gets, so she doesn't forget. As women in leadership, it's difficult to remember this from time to time. While it's important to search for constant improvement, we shouldn't question our own authority. Whether you're an intern, full-time employee or leader in your organization, chances are you deserve to be in the role you've earned. You deserve your seat at the table. But that can take some getting used to.

With Sarah, we tackle the infamous imposter syndrome—wondering how we got here, accepting our seat at the table, and convincing ourselves (and others) that we do, indeed, belong.
