How can you build a personal brand that survives adversity?
Be authentic and true to your values. Your personal brand should reflect your true self, not a fabricated persona. People can sense when someone is being genuine or not, and they will trust you more if you are honest and transparent. Keep polarizing matters out of it, e.g. politics, religion, race, and focus on values generally applicable to the human character and are viewed as foundational.
