Black women in leadership are an asset. In my Fast Company article, I look at the myriad of ways that Black women are uniquely qualified to lead connected, effective teams, despite being given few of the tools to do so in corporate America. Bringing awareness to and effectively leveraging the skills Black women possess will not only deliver strong results, but breathe life — and some credibility — into an organization’s ambitions to create workplaces that tap into and enable the talent of all.

Gearing up for an inspiring event this week, where the women in our organisation will come together to share their experiences and encourage another. We're indeed very grateful for our women in leadership roles who will headline the event, sharing their remarkable leadership journeys. As an organisation, we recognise and celebrate the invaluable contributions that women bring to leadership roles. Whether in boardrooms, policy-making, politics, legislative chambers, or grassroots efforts, their unique perspectives foster diversity of thought, enhance the decision-making process, and drive progress. Across our organisation, we remain committed in our efforts to champion diversity and inclusion in our workforce, including supporting women’s aspiration to assume leadership positions. #womeninleadership #empowerment #diversity #inclusion #genderequality #leadership #women #womenlead #welead

When you come to an understanding of what leadership truly means, you know when to be out front, when to be beside, and when to lead from behind. You understand that the work that you do isn't about you. You actively strive to decenter yourself. You bring on people who are smarter than you. You empower those that work with you. You manage your ego in healthy ways. You make room. You realize that your way isnt the only way. You center the clients, constituents, and villagers that you serve. You acknowledge the individual and collective greatness of your team. #LeadershipPersonified

Recently, I testified before the city council in our Nation’s Capital. However, this post isn't about my testimony. It's about the moment in leadership that was captured in this powerful picture. As leaders, it's crucial to surround ourselves with the best people - those who bring fresh perspectives and unconventional solutions to transform our work. The four women in this picture embody this spirit. They testified on behalf of their organization, bringing their collective expertise and empowered voices to the table. As we celebrate Black History Month and approach Women's History Month, I want to take a moment to thank these incredible women for all that they bring to the table. It's because of people like them that our workforce can continue to positively impact our community. Remember, the right people can make all the difference. #Leadership #Empowerment #DiversityandInclusion #BlackHistoryMonth #WomensHistoryMonth

Leadership is not gender-based, rather it focuses on the skills, competence, and experiences of a person. Qualified women today are underrepresented in leadership positions because in the past, leadership was viewed as a "man's role". Although this narrative has changed over the years, we still have a lot to do collectively to keep promoting gender-balanced leadership. At Rise and Lead Women, we are committed to spotlighting organizations that have gender balanced leadership. In doing so, we believe that it will encourage more companies to take the initiative.
