For Black leaders in search of peer support, community care, and creative energy: Register for our 3-part training starting this November! https://lnkd.in/dkbDrSBG When Black folks step into greater power and responsibility, they often inherit old visions and outdated traditions of enacting leadership that don't necessarily align with or fully capture their brilliance, values, and potential. This learning series provides the time, spaciousness, peer support, and resources for Black people in leadership to grow their creativity and vision in order to reground in their purpose and increase their transformative impact on the organizations, communities, and movements they lead. Participants can expect to connect and build community with other Black leaders to create and refine their visions for the future, explore their purpose, and garner ancestral + daily self-care practices to support their personal sustainability. Participants will also unpack how oppression impacts their relationship to power and map out tangible next steps for materializing their visions of leadership.
