Are we the authors of our identity—or is it written for us? - Part Deux

This was supposed to be a quick Culture Cues segment—but when the tests say you’re a “Creative Humanitarian” and a “Change Catalyst with Big Boss in Shadow,” how do you not unpack that?

In this bonus-love-letter-to-ourselves episode, Shaniqua and Stephanie reveal and reflect on their results from CliftonStrengths, Tilt 365, and The Corporate Persona Archetype (spoiler: one of us made that one).

It’s a self-awareness celebration featuring bold archetypes, shadow work, unexpected alignments, and a few "wow, that’s so us" moments.
Are you more impact or input? Explorer or guardian? Learner or entertainer? Let’s find out together.

Come for the test results, stay for the warm affirmations and contagious clarity.

Topics include: identity at work, Myers-Briggs, astrology, stereotypes vs. archetypes, queer representation, and self-acceptance as quiet revolution.

In this bonus segment of Culture Cues, Shaniqua and Stephanie get personal about what they were taught growing up about change—and how those early messages still influence them today. From southern church pews to 80s anthems and recovery prayers, they explore the cultural cues that shaped their resistance, acceptance, and redefinition of transformation. Raw, reflective, and relatable—this is the story behind the story of change.
