How can you accelerate your path to CEO?

In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Dr. Rahesha Amon, CEO of City Teaching Alliance. With 25+ years of leadership experience, Rahesha has been a teacher, coach, principal, and senior executive at NYC DOE before stepping into her current role.

A proud Black woman and fourth-generation New Yorker, Rahesha never dreamed of being a CEO—she once wanted to act, then pursued pre-med. But her all-girls school experience, community encouragement, and resilience helped her find her voice and chart her own leadership path.

She shares lessons for rising leaders:

•Own your identity. Authenticity is power.

•Trust the process. Successes and failures both teach.

•Keep building your toolkit. Seek experiences that stretch you.

•Find your board of directors. Surround yourself with mentors and advocates.

•Believe in yourself. Look to the light and draw strength from those who came before you.

Rahesha's story shows that with identity, faith, and community, we can accelerate our own path to CEO.
