@yugandre99: Sometimes people are genuinely shocked to see me dancing on TikTok, as if being a lecturer or a clinical psychologist means I’m not allowed to dance 😭😂 Like, are we still living in the 18th century? Come onnn! 💀 What exactly does dancing have to do with my profession? Since when did having a respectable career mean you have to give up every other part of yourself? We are human beings before we are our professions. We are allowed to have hobbies, be silly, have fun, express ourselves, and enjoy life outside the titles we carry. Yes, I’m a lecturer. Yes, I’m a clinical psychologist. But I’m also SO many other things beyond those titles, and I refuse to shrink myself into a box just because people have a certain image of how someone in my profession should behave. My profession is part of my identity, but it is NOT my entire identity. And honestly? I’m proud of the person I am. I’m proud that I can take my work seriously without taking myself so seriously all the time. I’m proud that I can be professional when I need to be and still let myself be playful, expressive, and unapologetically ME. Professionalism is about how you conduct yourself, not about how much of your personality you suppress. You can be good at what you do and still have a life, a personality, and a little dance moment on TikTok. 💃🏽😂 So yes, you’ll see me teaching, talking about psychology, advocating for mental health, AND dancing on your FYP. Because I worked hard to build my career, but I’m not going to lose myself trying to fit into someone else’s idea of what that career should look like. Let me be a professional AND a person. We can be both. Period. 💅🏽🌻 #tiktok #dance #fyp
