Regardless of politics, it's striking how many were surprised by VP Harris's exceptional debate performance. This underscores the stark reality of how far Black women must go to be acknowledged for their abilities. VP Harris isn’t singular - there are numerous equally talented Black women in politics, unrecognized by most Americans. This issue extends beyond politics to our organizations. The talent for diverse leadership roles already exists internally; we must be bold enough to acknowledge it. #Leadership #DiversityAndInclusion #BlackWomenInLeadership #TalentWithin

As a Black woman in leadership, I carry the weight of my ancestors’ dreams and the resilience of those who came before me. 🌍💪 The journey to the top isn’t easy, but it’s one filled with strength, purpose, and power. According to recent studies, only about 3% of Black women hold senior leadership roles in corporate America, and Black women make up just 5% of nonprofit leadership positions. Yet, we continue to break barriers, defy expectations, and lead with authenticity, compassion, and unapologetic excellence. Black women leaders are shifting the narrative, breaking glass ceilings, and leaving an undeniable impact on the world. From nonprofit organizations to corporate boardrooms, our leadership drives change that’s felt far beyond our communities. As Audre Lorde once said, "I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own." My leadership is about lifting as I climb and ensuring the success of others along the way. 🌟 Here’s to more Black women leading with power, grace, and purpose. The world is changing because we are changing it. ✊🏾✨ Shirt by Higher Heights for America #BlackWomenLead #LeadershipMatters #BlackExcellence #EmpoweredWomen #BreakingBarriers #BlackGirlMagic #NonprofitLeadership #Trailblazers

White Leaders What is your body count? Yes, you heard that right. We're done with mere intentions. We're tired of hearing promises without seeing real action. It's time for transparency and accountability. If you're a white leader claiming to champion black women in leadership, we want to know more than just your intentions. We want to see results. We want to know about the initiatives that have failed and, more importantly, the ones that have succeeded. It's not enough to talk about increasing representation of Black women in leadership or creating safe workspaces for racialised minorities. We need to see tangible outcomes. We want to see your impact in your current and previous roles. If all we hear is talk about intentions – "my intent," "our team's intent" – then it's just empty words. Let's move beyond rhetoric. Let's see real change. Share your successes, your failures, and the lessons learned. That's how we'll know you're genuinely committed to making a difference.
