Unshackled Leadership: A Lantern for Black Women Podcast
Throughout my years as an executive leadership coach, I have worked with leaders from every industry and background. Yet I have consistently seen that women of color often face unique challenges that require a space where their experiences are understood, their voices are affirmed, and their leadership is celebrated.
That is why I created Unshackled Leadership: A Lantern for Black Women.
This podcast is a place where women of color can explore leadership, identity, courage, purpose, and personal growth through honest conversations with executives, entrepreneurs, authors, activists, and changemakers. Together, we examine how to overcome the destructive inner critic, navigate barriers, lead with confidence, and create meaningful impact in our organizations and communities.
Whether you're leading a company, building a business, advancing your career, or simply seeking inspiration for your next chapter, each episode offers practical wisdom, fresh perspectives, and encouragement to help you lead with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
