Welcome to "How To Be...", guiding you through life's tricky topics and skills by reading through the best books out there. Representation burnout refers to the stress, fatigue, and exhaustion of being the only person of a particular identity within a certain environment, and to add, the only person defending that identity from discriminatory attitudes. Hence, I spoke to award-winning author Nikesh Shukla, who is the editor of The Good Immigrant and his newly published book Your Story Matters on the frustrations of being pigeonholed with an identity, as well as other experts' books to see if their advice can help all of us. I also heard from others who have gained some mastery over themselves. Please hit subscribe to hear the whole series on life skills! It should be short and sweet. I look forward to journeying with you through this maze of hacks.
