As a Black woman in leadership, I carry the weight of my ancestors’ dreams and the resilience of those who came before me. 🌍💪 The journey to the top isn’t easy, but it’s one filled with strength, purpose, and power. According to recent studies, only about 3% of Black women hold senior leadership roles in corporate America, and Black women make up just 5% of nonprofit leadership positions. Yet, we continue to break barriers, defy expectations, and lead with authenticity, compassion, and unapologetic excellence. Black women leaders are shifting the narrative, breaking glass ceilings, and leaving an undeniable impact on the world. From nonprofit organizations to corporate boardrooms, our leadership drives change that’s felt far beyond our communities. As Audre Lorde once said, "I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own." My leadership is about lifting as I climb and ensuring the success of others along the way. 🌟 Here’s to more Black women leading with power, grace, and purpose. The world is changing because we are changing it. ✊🏾✨ Shirt by Higher Heights for America #BlackWomenLead #LeadershipMatters #BlackExcellence #EmpoweredWomen #BreakingBarriers #BlackGirlMagic #NonprofitLeadership #Trailblazers

In the spring of 2021 we held pilot meetings in the Northeastern region of Minnesota. Soon after, in the summer of 2021 through the spring of 2022, we traveled (virtually) across rural Minnesota region by region. Then, in early fall we held meetings in the metro counties and areas. These convenings created connections with women, strategies to better support each other, explored existing formal and informal networks, and identified barriers and opportunities to overcome. Two topics that were especially discussed were woman leadership and the importance of mentorship. Additionally, in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we discussed the challenges of COVID and what positives we can take forward. Our goal was to ignite action in community, leadership, civic engagement, and rural entrepreneurship, while simultaneously identifying opportunities and connecting women with each other.
