Welcome to Compassion Over Silence.

Hosted by Rashida Saunders, author of Permission to Break, public safety leader, speaker, and founder of Black Ember Press, this podcast is a space for honest conversations about leadership, healing, identity, service, and what we carry behind the roles we hold.

Through personal stories, reflections, and meaningful conversations, Compassion Over Silence explores resilience, emotional health, leadership, and what it means to live beyond survival mode. Together, we'll examine the pressures of being strong, the cost of carrying things quietly, and the courage it takes to show up fully as ourselves.

In this trailer, Rashida shares the story behind the podcast and what listeners can expect in future episodes.

Leadership. Humanity. Honest Conversations.
