We are excited to feature Dr. Heather Lamb, the Executive Director of Social & Economic Empowerment through Knowledge, Inc. (SEEK), in our member spotlight. The BLK ED Network recently interviewed her to gain insight into her nonprofit journey.

The struggle with Imposter Syndrome for many Black executive directors is deeply connected to the long history of racial discrimination and systemic inequality. Black professionals have long been wrongly viewed as less capable due to harmful stereotypes and misleading beliefs about their intelligence. These messages have persisted, shaping how Black individuals are often seen, even in highly skilled roles.
