I love citing this book in my research!
The terrorization of Black Women in Leadership roles in the academy is disheartening. Time after time we see the mantle of leadership fearlessly shouldered by those who refuse to sit idly by, and time after time, we see them undermined, not recognized for the valuable resource that they are. One power of the Black Community is passing traditions, lessons learned, and guidance to those who seek it. If you stand among the many, who aim for scholarly Executive Leadership, start with Dr. Crystal R. Chambers' Black Women's Pathways to Executive Academic Leadership. visit https://lnkd.in/eVXt8NjX Ayo Sekai, Ph.D. #blackgirlmagic #legacy #research #leadership

How can internationally recognized companies in the creative space dismiss, disenfranchise, and fail to elevate Black, Indigenous, Asian, and Latin stories? Despite promoting accolades of diversity, their leadership, employees, and content do not reflect those accolades. It's time for business leaders to focus on the long game and recognize that diversity is crucial in storytelling. As our country becomes increasingly diverse, being an outlier and beacon of diversity will attract success (financial/caliber/notoriety). Check out the article in the comments below for more thoughts on this topic. #diversity #inclusion #representationmatters

October marks Black History Month in the UK, and in line with this year's theme, we're delving into how to reclaim the narrative around Black business leaders. Fiona Daniel, CEO and Founder of FD2I, shared her thoughts on the importance of platforming Black CEOs in this year's Black History Month UK magazine: "We need to raise the visibility of black leaders in business. If we perpetuate the message they don't exist or simply focus on the FTSE CEOs, we miss out on the bigger business picture and paint a narrative to others, particularly school-age black individuals, that the business world is not for them." As responsible employers, it’s crucial to openly celebrate Black excellence in leadership.

"Black women leaders must bend but not break." This is a statement made during my interviews with prominent Black women leaders. For some, this line may trigger discomfort, as the notion of compromise can be unsettling. However, for seasoned Black women in leadership roles, navigating the intricate labyrinth of authority—with its traps, pitfalls, valleys, and mountains—often requires them to be all things to all people. They have learned the art of adaptation for the greater good. "Bending but not breaking" is not about compromising one's values; rather, it signifies flexibility, the wisdom to choose battles wisely, and the understanding that building and maintaining relationships is crucial for long-term success and longevity in leadership roles. To upcoming Black women leaders, the phrase "bend but not break" may not resonate verbatim, but consider what it means to you: the ability to remain resilient while upholding your integrity, navigating challenges with grace, and fostering connections that empower and elevate your leadership journey.
