Gen Z Leadership Specialist helping organizations understand how to attract, retain, and maximize Gen Z talent | Millennial & Gen Z Women's Leadership Coach
"If you want to go far, go together." This African proverb echoes the power of community. I've witnessed the transformative impact of supportive communities on their success. Here are three compelling reasons why being part of such a community can drive women leaders toward greater heights: 1️⃣ Empowering Networks: These communities offer mentorship, opportunities, and a platform to share experiences, fostering growth and resilience. 2️⃣ Enhanced Visibility: Participation amplifies recognition, opening doors to collaborations and increased visibility. 3️⃣ Resourceful Learning: They serve as knowledge hubs, providing tailored resources and skill-building sessions. Organizations play a pivotal role in nurturing and sustaining these supportive communities: ✨ Cultivate Inclusive Spaces: Foster a culture where diverse voices are heard, valued, and celebrated. Provide platforms and forums that encourage collaboration and mutual support among women leaders. ✨ Invest in Development: Allocate resources for programs specifically designed to empower women leaders, including mentorship initiatives, leadership training, and networking events. ✨ Advocate and Recognize: Champion the achievements of women leaders within and outside the organization. Advocate for their visibility and ensure their contributions are duly recognized and celebrated. Empowerment doesn’t happen in isolation—it thrives within communities that uplift and support each other. Let’s build and sustain these communities within our organizations, ensuring every woman leader has the resources and network she needs to succeed.

It's depressing but also refreshing to see this ⬇️ "This edition of Nonprofit Quarterly Magazine is a resounding no in the face of the travesty that Black women leaders, and other women of color leaders, have been contending with in the sector. As White-founded organizational leadership transitions out of what has more often than not been blatantly unexamined and relatively ungoverned roles in organizations, often on the brink of collapse, incoming Black women leaders are discovering that now there will be not only governance but obstructive, extreme oversight, micromanagement, unreasonable expectations, territorialism, mistrust, little to no support, lack of basic decency and humanity, and the list continues—sometimes from the board, sometimes from the staff, and sometimes from both…and that’s just internally. Externally, there is also misbehavior from funders and from other leaders. There is no place allowed, it seems, to breathe; to rest; to grow; to make mistakes, learn, and recalibrate; to be. The sector, as a number of leaders describe in this edition, is perpetrating death by a thousand cuts." LINK: https://lnkd.in/dZ7B84Bf

White Women: If you support Black women in leadership, allies are also welcome to register. If we (white women) want to be part of meaningful change, white women must choose womanhood over whiteness. This requires us (white women) to unlearn what we have been taught about about racial injustice, discrimination, and white supremacy in this country. We must be willing to relearn what it will take to dismantle white supremacy. White women have been part of white supremacy in America since the very beginning, experts point out, dating back to their role in slavery. “They were at the table when the system was designed,” Stephanie Jones-Rogers, a history professor at UC Berkeley and author of the book They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South, told Vox. “They were co-architects of the system.” It’s hard for a lot of white women to read that last paragraph and embrace this reality. White women historically have leveraged their white power and privilege to gain advantage over women of color; leveraging their whiteness was an intentional strategy when one is operating within a predominantly white male patriarchy. Whiteness over womanhood is easy math. Having privilege doesn’t make white women bad people, and acknowledging privilege shouldn’t be a burden. Acknowledging privilege is an opportunity to learn, grow, and be better, so we can create a just, equitable, and inclusive world. Benefiting from privilege doesn’t make you a bad person, but it does require you to use your privilege to interrupt, challenge, and ultimately end white supremacy. We can’t dismantle what we cannot see. We have to be intentional by practicing seeing how racism is baked into systems and how those systems shape and influence the lives of people and communities. We need to put Black women’s voices at the center of our ongoing journey to reeducation in this country. Need some inspiration? Start by exploring these voices: Anna Julia Cooper, Ntozake Shante, Maria W. Stewart, Joan Morgan, Angela Y. Davis, Tressie McMillan Cotton, Mia Birdsong, Claudia Jones, Mikki Kendall, Paula Giddings, Marita Bonner, Nora Neale Hurston, Lorraine Hansberry, and Rev. Pauli Murray. This is not an exhaustive list, but a great start. This list was provided by W. Kamau Bell and Kate Schatz, authors of DO THE WORK, An Antiracist Activity Book. https://a.co/d/aq6A6BZ Here is Amazon link for the book, $13.99, small investment with a big payoff.
We hope you register for our free online event. Reserve your free ticket before it’s sold out. Are you a Black Woman in Leadership? Leading your life… Leading in your home… Leading in the workplace… Or Aspiring to Lead… This event is for you! If you support Black women in leadership, allies are also welcome to register.
