I vividly remember the first two years I moved from my home country. Every Monday morning it felt like I had to restructure my ?? so it specifically uses the English roads and synapses. Each day came with a lot of continuous, conscious effort. And with so many fears I had to overcome. The fear of not being understood because of my accent, the fear of making an obvious mistake that even a first grader wouldn’t do, and the fear of being underestimated and put aside based solely on my accent or my lack of English proficiency. ??To?all of you who work in their second, third or even forth language, be proud of yourself. Be proud that you’re overcoming difficulties, fears, and are achieving your goals. Most of all, be #proud of your accent as it shows your uniqueness and tells your story which is a story that should be shared and celebrated. #inclusiveworkplace #empathy #proudofyou
