In this interview, Ericka sits down with Denise Hamilton to discuss her life as not just a founder and thought-leader, but also as a visionary who leads companies and individuals through change.

Her thought leadership has also been featured on NPR, Harvard Business Review, Bloomberg, MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Newsweek and many others.
