"Leading While Black" The Power of Liberatory Leadership
Hello, and welcome to this week's episode of the Intersection Podcast.
In this second installment of “A Love Letter to Black Leaders” we are delighted to have Shayna Hammond. Shayna is Founder & CEO of Lead For Liberation and IndigoWomen. Shayna centers spiritually-inspired and research based coaching methods to center Black leaders and entrepreneurs.
She is also an author with extensive expertise in leadership and life coaching, workplace culture redesign, business strategy, and education. Shayna recently founded Shayna Renee Media, where she delivers keynote speeches, co-curates liberatory events, and will soon launch a podcast (be sure to check it out).
This important series gives voice to our unique experiences as black leaders and provides resources, tools, and a community to let you know you’re not alone.
In this episode we discuss:
⚫ What motivates Shayna - from her early childhood experiences with discrimination to her career in education.
⚫ What liberatory leadership is and how it enables everyone to thrive, innovate and experience a sense of belonging.
⚫ The challenges often facing Black leaders as we navigate lack of support, grace and trust.
⚫ The imperative of self-preservation practices for Black leaders and how to center and make space for your own emotions.
Thank you for listening and being a part of this community as we acknowledge the immeasurable contributions of Black leaders.
