Sameera Reddy Instagram – “I struggled with this constant sense of not being good enough—I was a victim of ‘imposter syndrome’ and believed everything I had achieved was a fluke and that I didn’t really deserve it. And because I was short-selling myself, I couldn’t achieve my true potential… The truth is that women care far too much about what other people think, what they say, and about how they are perceived. They really need to care more about themselves. They need to love themselves, forgive themselves, and be selfish about their own dreams and goals, instead of giving them all up to and for someone else,” says actor Sameera Reddy (@reddysameera).
