In a predominantly white city, one Black woman leverages her unique perspective and experience to become a state representative and fight for the inclusion of all. Cherie Buckner-Webb learned early on that she would have to work hard to be true to herself and to be respected in her community. She has dedicated her career to helping others, including young women and minorities. She is a strong advocate for collective action and has a passion for history and for leaving a legacy. Today, Cherie will be talking about navigating being the "only one in the room" throughout her career and the importance of legacy and community.

Cherie Buckner-Webb is the founder and principal of Sojourner Coaching. She served in the Idaho State Legislature, serving in the Idaho House of Representatives in 2010 and the Idaho State Senate in 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018. Cherie’s credo, “leave a legacy,” underscores her work in every area of activity and to that end, she donates countless hours to a variety of community organizations. She currently serves on the boards of the Andrus Center for Public Policy, the Northwest Area Foundation, Women and Children’s Alliance, College of Western Idaho, and the Blue Cross of Idaho Care Plus Board.

Over the last couple of years, as major corporations publicly stated their commitment to equity & inclusion, many leaders from historically excluded & marginalized identities were asked to step into roles to help lead the change. Being at the table can be both exhilarating and exhausting. But having representation at the table is essential. In this episode, Amelia Hardy and I discuss how to show up, stand up and speak up when you have a seat at the table and the importance of authentically being part of the conversation when the glass cliff is ready to be shattered.  In today’s conversation, I delve into how Amelia is leveraging a successful career to create transformational change to shift the narrative of "business as usual" within a Fortune 100 company.  From prioritizing herself, and her family, and leaning into meaningful relationships in business, we cover a wide spectrum of how she stays on top of her field and ensures that her passion, purpose, and profession are optimally aligned while working to unlock equity and inclusion in today's corporate landscape.

Amelia Hardy is the Chief Inclusion & Diversity Officer at Best Buy. Amelia has over 20 years of strategic and leadership roles at fortune 100 companies. Her career experience includes marketing strategy, brand management, business development, and product commercialization. She is significantly involved within the community and currently serves on multiple national and community boards, including the Boys and Girls Club of the Twin Cities, the Cowles Center, and Minnesota Community Care.

There is something magical when Black women come together in sisterhood. True Sisters can talk in every way possible. From sharing wins to being transparent through the hard times, there is NOTHING like your Sister friends. In this episode, I am in conversation with two of dear friends, Beverly Oden and Mia Jackson. This is not the first time we are speaking on a podcast together. All three of us were a part of the podcast Game Changers Live, where our tagline was a "new view from the sidelines." We have had many changes since the last episode dropped in 2014 but one thing has remained: the love and respect we each have for each other...even if we all can't agree upon a favorite Lakers player!

Mia Jackson is a marketing, communications and brand acceleration leader. Beverly Oden was heard in Episode 2: Unlocking Your Authentic Voice so if you did not have a chance to listen, please do (after you listen to this episode). Beverly's journey consists of her being an Olympic athlete, counselor, entrepreneur, author, journalist, and producer of Beyond the Glory.

I invite you to join our conversation as we discuss:

• Law of Diminishing Returns

At the time of this episode dropping, being a woman of color has me at strife with our current judicial system. Between the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the killing of another unarmed brother by a police department, the news can feel unbearable. Our Country needs change. The best way to enact that change is to be a part of the system. That is why in this episode, I am proud to speak to Judge Monica F. Wiley, the second African American female appointed to the San Francisco Superior Court bench about how she unlocked the club to the justice system.

Judge Wiley has been a San Francisco Superior Court judge since 2009.  She was appointed by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.  During her tenure she has presided in civil, criminal and family law departments in both trial and calendar courtrooms.  Judge Wiley has also served as a member of the Court’s Executive Committee, the Alternative Dispute Resolution Committee, the Civil Grand Jury Committee, the Personnel Committee and the Events/Collegiality Committee.  She currently presides over a family law calendar department.  Judge Wiley also serves on the California Center for Judicial Education and Research (CJER) as classroom faculty for newly appointed judges in the State of California.

I invite you to join our conversation as Judge Wiley and I discuss:

• Justice system

• Jury of your peers

• Speak into existence

• Perseverance

• Role models

• Leaving a legacy

• Mentorship

• Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

• Judges

• Sentencing guidelines

• Local politics

• Madeleine Albright

• Finding an outlet

• CASA/GAL program

In 7th grade, I was invited by my teacher to join a creative writing group. I respectfully declined. Then, during a parent/teacher conference, that 7th grade teacher told my mom I declined. In all of my mom's wisdom, we had a discussion about it and encouraged me to reconsider. I still said no. For me, it felt like an unsafe club because there were no stories I could related too as a young black girl. In this episode, I would love to introduce you to Julie Lythcott-Haims. Julie is no stranger to telling a great story. Not only does she share how her writing was rejected for decades but she also shares her journey on how writing allowed her to find the most important love. The love she had for herself.

Julie Lythcott-Haims is an American writer, speaker and human. She has written three non-fiction books: How to Raise an Adult; Real American, a memoir; and Your Turn: How to Be an Adult. She served as dean of freshmen and undergraduate advising at Stanford University.

I invite you to join our conversation as Julie and I discuss:

• Self acceptance

• Societal Rejection

• Privilege

• Mindfulness

• Internalized oppression

• Race in books

• Inclusion

• NY Times Best Seller

• Showing up

• Affordable housing

• Mental Health
