Leading in color
THE PODCAST
Leading In Color thrives on engaging in courageous conversations and topics that unpack the systems of oppression that impact leaders at the margins of white patriarchal dominant culture.
We are passionate about naming and dismantling the barriers of implicit and explicit bias, raising consciousness, and forging new ways to think about leadership that do not replicate power over others and create transformational leadership models.
