We’re diving into why advocating for yourself as a leader of color can feel so damn hard.
In this first episode, I’ll be:
✨breaking down the reasons why you might specifically struggle with advocating for yourself based on your intersectional identities
✨discussing why it’s not a personal failing or personality flaw if you struggle to advocate for yourself
✨talking about the struggle of speaking up in predominantly white institutions
✨defining what it truly means to advocate for yourself, and what it looks like
But that’s not all!
I’m also defining what self-advocacy truly means and why mastering it will transform your career, relationships, and personal well-being.
Why does this matter?
Because thriving as a leader requires breaking free from harmful narratives and stepping into your power unapologetically.
You’re not the first to face these challenges, and you won’t be the last. Let’s work together to rewrite the script.
