Leadership is a topic so so dear to my heart

I understand how as a leader you shape the culture and strategic direction of an organisation but an even greater responsibility is shaping others and their experiences. This can be difficult, because as people we are so layered and complex. Managing others and not only that but becoming a pinnacle leader has many layers.

As a woman in STEM who’s worked in engineering and technology I’m not a stranger to those layers. In fact I know how it can be complex to navigate them as a woman. A black woman who’s the first to even be a manager in their family and community. At some point I studied executives when I was in a graduate program and wanted to act like them, a disaster!

I crafted this series with intention, in hopes to heal those that have had traumatic experiences as leaders and from leaders. I also crafted it to give us hope, that when we know better we can do better; that WE and the next generation can be pinnacle leaders. 

I hope you enjoyed this series of love letters; may it be a reminder that the world needs you as you are…..
