The power of Black women in entrepreneurship and political leadership is undeniable. We’re the fastest-growing group of entrepreneurs and now have two Black women serving as senators simultaneously—a historic first. These roles drive economic and social progress for our communities. VP Harris may not have won this bid, but she’s still the first Black woman to serve as Vice President, paving the way for future generations. At 60, her impact is just beginning. Watch the full conversation and see why Black women’s influence is unstoppable 👉 https://lnkd.in/gR4_ecDT #BlackWomenEntrepreneurs #Leadership #EconomicProgress

Scared Or Scarred? Both can cause the most ambitious, aspirational Black woman in leadership to stay put. You can stay put because you're scared to rock the boat, scared to show up and show out in your full brilliance. You can be scarred from the mistreatment, disrespect, undermining of your leadership, and questioning your creditability. In the UK this week, we have witnessed the total disrespect of both the first and longest standing Black female Members of Parliament, Diane Abbott. As we witness what is happening in the full glare of the UK media, imagine what countless Black women in leadership face behind closed doors. This is why The Compass Club exists. We ensure that our members are neither too scared nor too scarred to move when it comes to putting themselves first. We equip and empower Black women in leadership to take charge of their personal development, ultimately leading to professional success. Scared Or Scarred. The Compass Club is often described as a community that is "Chicken soup for Black Women in Leadership," a place to heal if necessary and to rebuild with clarity and purposeful progress. Ready to cease being scared and heal from any scars? Join our monthly Q&A session on Tuesday, June 11th, at 7.30 pm. Get all your questions answered about the why, what, and how of The Compass Club. Secure your seat here: https://lnkd.in/dMRH8SCn Looking forward to seeing you there. Alternatively, if you can't wait till then, DM us with your queries, and we will get back to you. #ownyourvalue #knowyourworth #blackwomeninleadership #blackfemaleleaders #blacklinkedin #selfleadership #personaldevelopment #professionalsuccess

It sheds light on the complexities of intersectionality, representation, and the need for genuine recognition and support. As we continue to strive for equity and inclusivity in leadership spaces, it's crucial to amplify voices that highlight these important conversations. I highly recommend giving this article a read and reflecting on how we can all contribute to creating more inclusive environments.

This article delves into the unique qualities and challenges that shape the leadership journey of Black women. From navigating intersectional identities to redefining traditional leadership paradigms, our contributions are invaluable and often overlooked. Black women in leadership often face additional challenges regarding equality in work metrics (moving targets) and budgets (limiting resources). How does your organization keep discrimination and stereotyping out of teams? While transparency and radical honesty can help decrease bias when assigning projects, it may not be enough.

Black women are grossly underrepresented in leadership roles in corporate America and are consistently overlooked when filling positions of authority. Black women comprise less than 1.5% of senior and executive leadership roles in the top Fortune 500 companies. Once the rare Black woman secures a leadership role, she is often the only Black female in the room leaving her feeling hyper-visible; but at the same time, “socially invisible”. In other words, their underrepresentation makes Black women highly visible in their workplace; and yet they report greater isolation and difficulty being perceived as credible; having very limited power, authority, control, access to resources, and fewer opportunities for senior management sponsorship. This is #theinvisibleelephant phenomenon, being hyper-visible and ignored as if invisible, simultaneously. I am here to encourage Black women project managers and leaders and let you know that you are not alone; you are not invisible. Sometimes just knowing you are not alone in your situation can help you to persevere. Let’s support and encourage each other. If you, like me, have ever felt like or witnessed the invisible elephant, leave a 👍, ❤️ , or an ‘amen’ in the comments.

Great feature on philanthropy leader Trish Adobea Tchume by Mandy Van Deven! It's so refreshing to read Trish's reflections on the power dynamics and responsibility of philanthropy: "For as long as it exists, philanthropy has a responsibility to serve as risk capital and give people space to think beyond what is currently happening — but its role has to be specific: You’re mostly the money. The work I do is to negotiate that and to create structures that help us to mostly stay in that lane. It’s not that we have no opinion about what we think is possible, but the frameworks we are developing around our exploring leadership work are really clear about our funding role. As transparently as possible, I negotiate the tension between what we care about as funders and what the partners we resource care about, and try to design something that redistributes power so that the people who have the most to gain from this experimentation have the most power in figuring out how the experiment goes." Who are other leaders in philanthropy you admire, friends?
“I’ve always had the sense that we are all connected, and we can do powerful things when we are each clear about what our responsibility is in building a world where all of us can thrive.” In an interview for Inside Philanthropy, Mandy Van Deven and I spoke about what liberatory leadership means for me as a Black women, how to navigate positional power, and the responsibility philanthropy has to cultivate the conditions that prefigure the future we long for. Thanks to my family, collaborators, and co-conspirators who keep me grounded no matter what role I hold and for encouraging me to dream and help build the collective imagination that makes my work possible. Please reach out if you are interested in learning more and continuing this work with me and others. https://archive.is/CW6Z8

As a Black businesswoman owning a financial advising firm, I am thrilled to witness a significant moment in history with President Joe Biden endorsing Kamala Harris as the presidential nominee. This endorsement is more than just a political move; it is a powerful statement about women's empowerment and the potential for Black women entrepreneurs to break barriers and achieve greatness. Kamala Harris's journey to this point is a testament to the resilience, intelligence, and leadership that women, particularly Black women, bring to the table. Her nomination symbolizes a breaking of the glass ceiling and serves as an inspiration for all women striving to make their mark in their respective fields. 👏Seeing a woman of color in such a prominent position reinforces the belief that we can overcome these hurdles and excel. 👏Empowerment begins with representation. When we see ourselves reflected in leadership roles, it fuels our ambition and validates our aspirations. 👏Kamala Harris's nomination encourages us to dream bigger and aim higher, knowing that our contributions are valuable and our voices matter. As we celebrate this milestone, let's also focus on practical steps to support and uplift Black women entrepreneurs. By doing so, we not only empower individual women but also strengthen our communities and drive economic growth. #WomenEmpowerment #BlackWomenEntrepreneurs #Leadership #Inspiration
