What if you’ve been building a career that was never truly yours?
- Not because you lack ambition.
- Not because you lack discipline.
But because somewhere along the way, you adjusted. You adapted. You assimilated.
In this episode of Career Conversations with Ola, I sit down with Oyin Otubusen, health care professional and emerging critical race scholar, to explore career authenticity, identity in the workplace, and what it really means to build a purpose driven career aligned with your values.
From pharmacy to physiotherapy to critical race research, Oyin shares her journey of navigating professional identity in systems that reward conformity. We talk about workplace assimilation, systemic exclusion in health professions, and the courage it takes to stay authentic while pursuing meaningful work.
In this conversation, we unpack:
How to align your career with your identity
Finding deeper purpose at work
Navigating pressure to conform in professional spaces
Speaking truth to power without waiting for permission
Redefining success on your own terms
Building a career rooted in purpose and representation
If you’ve ever felt tension between professional success and staying true to yourself, this episode will resonate.
This is a conversation about career alignment, purpose at work, and the courage to build something that actually reflects who you are.
The real question is: Who is your career really for?
