    S2E10: Just Us with Liz and Kere Podcast: The Did I Do That Episode
    2026/07/02

    Can you succeed in corporate America without pretending to be someone you're not?

    In this episode of Just Us with Liz & Kere, we revisit one of television's most iconic characters—Steve Urkel—to unpack a surprisingly powerful lesson about authenticity, code-switching, confidence, and the masks we wear to fit in.

    Using the legendary Steve Urkel vs. Stefan Urquelle storyline from Family Matters, Liz and Kere explore what happens when we allow other people's expectations to define who we are. They discuss authenticity in the workplace, the pressure Black women often face to conform, and why embracing your full self may be the key to both success and fulfillment.

    Then, in a special Boss It or Toss It, they rank some of television's most unforgettable characters—from Waldo and Carlton Banks to Janine Teagues, Fred Sanford, Jazz, Franklin, Charlie, and more—based on their commitment to individuality and authenticity.

    If you've ever felt pressured to wear a mask at work, this conversation is for you.

    📌 Like, Subscribe & Share to help more Black women navigate corporate spaces with confidence and purpose.
