My essay "You're here because you're good" featured in Fortune magazine's race ahead

So stoked to find out that the brief essay I wrote for Hedgebrook's blog, "You're Here Because You're Good", was featured in raceAhead, Fortune Magazine's Newsletter on Culture and Diversity! You'll have to scroll down to read their review (where it's categorized under The Woke Leader), but anyway I'll repost it here:
Advice for the “minority” person in every gifted program
Monica Macansantos is a Philippine-born novelist with a long line of credentials – she’s currently working on her Ph.D. - and prestigious residencies under her belt. Yet she is still beset by self-doubt, particularly in majority white spaces. She has written a lovely essay which doubles as a reminder for anyone who is striving and achieving their dreams: “You’re here because you’re good.”

​You can find the full issue where my essay is featured here.
