I am continually learning how to lead with courageous language through my words and actions with a willingness to risk everything I've built out of nothing. I am no longer hiding, I am owning it all with pride. I’ve learned to take up space, speak my truth, and own the parts of my story that I’ve previously had to silence in order to be successful. The work that I have done around shame resilience, authenticity, courage, and vulnerability has exposed the very parts of me that I’ve had to hide. With my leadership coaching, we will navigate all of this nuance together.
Without that, BIPOC's enter into and have to survive an environment where their actual lived experiences are discounted.
If you are not a BIPOC, I encourage you, don't just scoot over to let BIPOC's come to the table, get up and let us take your seat.ĭiversity and inclusion are not just about looking around the room to SEE something that is different, it's about being willing to HEAR our differences. It's important to speak into existence the world we hope to have and the world we don't want to have. What people don't realize when you are a woman of color in leadership is that the responsibilities, sacrifices, and weight that comes with that title are tremendous. I have been a part of systems, both professional and personal, that have told me that who I am is not welcome, and if I want a seat at the table, I will have to shrink, break, bend, and adjust myself in order to “make it.” All of these parts of my identity intersect.
