Protecting the Souls of Black Women Leaders
A virtual leadership summit for Black women, by Black women
Undaunted & Unshakeable
As a Black woman in leadership, you excel at turning obstacles into opportunities. But every day, you have to navigate a world that overlooks your contributions and questions your competence.
These systemic challenges take a toll on your confidence, leading to a draining cycle of self-doubt, overwork, and overwhelm.
Join us in interrupting that cycle — and become unshakeable.
As Black Women Leaders our wellness & resilience is non-negotiable…
Strategies to Reclaim & Protect Your Resilience
Over this three-day summit, we will deconstruct systemic workplace challenges, foster wellness, and seed connections with each other that can support us through future tests and successes.
The six areas we prioritize…
Addressing Systemic Challenges
Black women leaders encounter under-recognized, systemic challenges in the workplace. Traditional solutions frequently overlook these specific issues, making targeted support essential. Get the support YOU need.
Psychological & Emotional Safety
Our summit offers a dedicated platform for Black women leaders to connect with others who understand their struggles, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
Fostering Wellness & Wellbeing
Focusing on wellness is critical for long-term success and sustainability. Our event includes wellness sessions to help you balance your mental and emotional health with your leadership roles. Leave the event feeling restored, inspired, and equipped to thrive.
Actionable Resources
Our summit is about more than inspiration; it’s about action. You will leave with tangible resources and tools to apply immediately in your workplaces to cultivate a more inclusive and supportive work environment.
Access to Expert Panels & Guest Speakers
You will gain valuable insights and practical tools to navigate your workplaces more effectively. We’ll practice a range of skills, from advocating for yourself to implementing strategies to mitigate racial trauma.
Building Community & Support Networks
Connect with Black women leaders globally to build a robust support network, providing ongoing validation, advice, and encouragement beyond the event. We all need resilient community to collectively address workplace challenges and advocate for systemic change.

Our Guiding Pedagogy
Together we will deconstruct the systemic challenges that keep us from thriving.
Deconstruct is not to destroy. Deconstruction is a double movement of simultaneous affirmation (preserving) and undoing.
For our summit, this means that we boldly retain what supports and protects us, while being very intentional to unravel that which is oppressive and contradicts the core of how we choose to lead.
The fact that it is a double movement is significant — we will engage the complexity, the paradox, of preserving and undoing in one space. Questioning, preserving, coming to deeper understanding… Ultimately, we achieve a more nuanced perspective to reflect our nuanced ways of living.

“Aché’s workshop was a game-changer for me, both personally and professionally. She guided us through a powerful process of deconstructing and decolonizing our understanding of leadership, resilience, and power. It wasn’t just about learning to lead better—though I certainly did—it was about leaning deeper into what it means to lead with authenticity and integrity.
Aché challenged us to redefine resilience, success and power. The process was deeply transformative. Her approach is nothing short of revolutionary.”
