In this special episode for Black History Month (BHM), I highlight influential leaders who have inspired me, to be a CAREING LEADER.

Today, I share a deeply personal story of how my mother's CAREING leadership style and words of wisdom, "Don't let nobody steal your joy," have guided me through challenging times and continue to profoundly shame my leadership approach.
