Leadership
You are leading a new wave of whole, sustained leadership that we need to surpass the current corporate norms.
As the founder of In Her Power, I Am Boldacious, and SoulFood Sundays, I work at the intersection of leadership and wellness to protect the souls of leaders like you.
Core Values
We each have a charge; a call to live out our why unapologetically, in a manner that emboldens and invites others to do the same. This means asking hard questions, challenging the status quo, living outside our comfort zone, taking risks and knowing that what others define as failure and mistakes is learning and growth that move us deeper into our calling.
Grace strengthens our leadership. It is the quiet commitment to look beyond the sphere of our needs and desires to create a space where people feel safe to bring forth more of themselves. It is to be of service and support to a collective purpose.
“My Joy is not for ransom.” I love this Truth that a good girlfriend of mine declared. It is also not for barter, trade, or negotiation. Joy is cultivated internally, it is our freedom, resistance, and resilience. Joy is the pathway to peace. It is powerful enough to live through pain and sometimes borne from it. Joy is your birthright.
Daily acts of self-care are non-negotiable. This means creating and honoring our own boundaries, especially when no one else does. It means saying no so you can say yes to your wellness. It means resting and napping (the good naps where you drool). It means loving on your body because it houses the most precious gift on earth: you.
It is time to sidestep conformity and accept the single heroine narrative is dead and so is super-caping. Instilled within us is the gift to transform and heal the world. The gift is also for us to tap into our collective strength and wisdom that allows us to rest and lead as needed. As the African Proverb states: You can go faster alone; but further together. I opt for further. How about you?
