Images don't work for you?

Read my attempt at verbalizing the story.

Monkeylynn sits with a senior director hedgehog at the Banana Split Agency office. The boss lady says, "Thanks for meeting me, Monkeyleigh." Monkeylynn, thinks to herself, "Monkeyleigh?" The hedgehog boss says, "I'll cut to the chase. Your hard work has not gone unnoticed. We are giving you a promotion!" She continues, "I'm looking at our newest director... leading our creative, aerospace, medical, and legal divisions." Monkeylynn says, "Umm... I'm not sure you have the right monkey..." The hedgehog says, "GIRL. No. Do not do this. You have IMPOSTER SYNDROME! You are strong and capable and you are the one for the job!" In the next scene, somewhere else, the real Monkeyleigh sits at her desk, surrounded by diplomas, awards, and accolades. She is a Juris Doctor, a medical doctor, a Fine Arts PhD, an engineer, and a Nobel laureate, among other things.

Monkeylynn sits in a different room. She says, "I don't have an engineering degree. I'm not a doctor or a lawyer. I know design, but that's about it. My name is not Monkeyleigh. The scene pans out to a room of women meeting at a "Women at Work support group". The badger says, "That's imposter syndrome!" The rabbit says, "I empathize!" The mouse says, "Have you tried positive affirmations?" A distressed Monkeylynn says, "I crashed a rocket last week. I was just pressing buttons." Someone off screen says, "Oh girl! This is a safe space."
