How to fight oppression and win

Last week, I wrote about the difference between limiting beliefs, deeply held beliefs that people hold out to be the absolute truth about themselves, and internalized oppression—negative stereotypes, attitudes, and opinions held by a dominant culture about a marginalized group that members of that group then internalize.

This week, I want to dive deeper and talk about ways to combat internalized oppression using coaching tools.

While you can readily find strategies to overcome limiting beliefs (just do a search on Google), there is a dire need for tangible solutions to help women of color confront internalized oppression.

This is no minor issue because it’s not just about self-esteem or confidence. Internalized oppression goes to the core of our experiences, influencing our daily interactions, perceptions of success, and self-worth.

Picture this.
