Dr. Lyla June Johnston to speak on impostor syndrome
June 4, 2024 •
Dr. Lyla June Johnston (aka Lyla June)
The world needs each and every one of our perspectives as we each offer a piece of the overall puzzle of the human story. Lyla June Johnston, Ph.D., is an Indigenous woman who has completed her undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral degrees, battling impostor syndrome each step of the way.
On June 11, join the Native American, Indigenous and Pacific Islander Staff Association (NAIPISA) for a conversation with Dr. Johnston. She will discuss personal experiences, why impostor syndrome exists and why all of us deserve to share our message to the world — and how the world desperately needs our unique perspectives to be whole and complete.
