Built by Snubs: What Being Overlooked Actually Teaches You | Episode 63

Built by Snubs: What Being Overlooked Actually Teaches You | Episode 63In this episode, we talk about what it really means to be overlooked and why being snubbed often teaches lessons recognition never does. We start with Ryan Coogler’s Golden Globes snub and connect it to familiar experiences like academic rejection, professional gatekeeping, and doing excellent work without acknowledgment. We explore why Black excellence is so often questioned or minimized, and how double standards shape who gets celebrated and who gets dismissed.We also bring this conversation into parenting and growth. We talk about rejection, resilience, and why being overlooked does not mean a lack of talent, value, or impact. From kids pushing back developmentally to professionals building strength through setbacks, this episode is about learning how to keep moving forward when recognition does not come—and how those moments quietly build who we become.📱 Follow Us on InstagramParents & Professors Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/parentsandprofessorspodDr. Michael Steven Williams: https://www.instagram.com/drmikewillDr. Marjorie Dorimé-Williams: https://www.instagram.com/drminimarj🕒 EPISODE 63 – CHAPTERS0:00 Intro1:00 When was the last time you felt overlooked2:05 Why Black excellence gets snubbed11:30 Success beyond awards and recognition16:45 Academic rejection and professional resilience24:20 When your kid treats you like the enemy32:00 Why average athletes make better coaches37:18 Rejection in all its forms39:43 Built by snubs and the value of hard things#BlackExcellence #BuiltBySnubs #ParentingPodcastDisclaimer: The information shared in this video is for general discussion only.
