Katja Mia is on cold nine.
She has just gotten engaged – you can read our chat with her here – she is one of Ireland’s hottest presenters and she’s our fabulous September cover star.
This November she’ll be marking a year as The Six O’Clock Show’s presenter. She admits that imposter syndrome is something that still affects her.
“Sometimes I still do have that imposter syndrome, maybe because it happened so quickly. The way the last two or three years transformed my entire life, I have to pinch myself,” she confesses.
“I don’t see as many black, female presenters, so it doesn’t feel real. When I’m going to work, sometimes I’m like, is this happening? Am I deserving? Am I doing a good job?”
We assure her that she is!
“I do my best and I always come prepared. I don’t want to waste anybody’s time and always want to be professional in work. The imposter syndrome works in my favour sometimes in that sense, because I don’t take anything for granted.”
