Who am I?

​

• Session 1: Cultivate Relationships: Build relationships with your cohort and deepen the “Why” behind your work. We will also identify current challenges (personal or professional) and define a project for June’s presentations.

​

• Session 2: Amplify Our Voices: Center and elevate our voices, actively seeking perspectives that are often underrepresented to foster a more inclusive decision-making process. We will assess our Community Cultural Wealth and utilize it to identify the limiting beliefs that hold us back.

Who have I been told to be?

​

• Session 3: Foster Radical Collaboration: Harness the power of collaboration and collective wisdom to create innovative solutions that address complex issues. Using Helm Racial Identity Models, we will deepen our understanding of how our racial identities intersect with our leadership roles and interrupt white supremacy within ourselves.

​

• Session 4: Center Equity and Justice: Prioritize social justice in leadership, actively working to dismantle systemic barriers and promote equity within their organizations. Using Tema Okuns White Supremacy Checklist, we will examine aspects of white supremacy within ourselves and reframe our relationship to code-switching.

Who do I aspire to be?

​

• Session 5: Embrace Solidarity: Discover how solidarity within and beyond your organization can drive meaningful change. Apply what you learned from previous sessions to implement your vision into a solution-oriented plan. We will workshop our challenges and finalize our presentations. We will end this session focused on liberation, exploring how it fuels innovative thinking and transformative leadership.

​

• Session 6:  Peer Power, Purposeful Coaching, and Polished Presentations:  In our final session, we’ll explore the power of peer mentorship and purposeful coaching—the key to lifting each other in spaces where people of color are often overlooked as leaders. We’ll discuss how to harness these skills to build a strong, supportive network that champions your voice and the voices of those around you. You’ll also sharpen your presentation skills, ensuring you can confidently speak and command the room. This session is about amplifying our collective strength, helping you step boldly into leadership with the tools to mentor, coach, and inspire others in your community.

Community Showcase

At the conclusion of the Leadership Program, participants will collaborate with their peers to identify and address critical barriers within their organizations. These barriers may include challenges in fostering equitable cultures, obstacles hindering workplace development, or factors impeding strategic growth. By working together, participants will develop concrete solutions and resources. As a collective unit, leaders will support each other in overcoming these barriers and driving positive change within their organizations. Toward the end of the program, participants will have the opportunity to present their work and findings to their peers.
