Boxes with Onome Ako Underdog Leadership Podcast

Purchase Embracing Ambition Book https://chavender.com/embracing-ambition-the-book/
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Embracing Ambition - that’s the TITLE of the collaborative book. It now has a name!
 
Today’s guest is Onome Ako, CEO of Action Against Hunger. In her language, Onome’s name means “one who is cherished, one who is loved, and my special one.” And that is the kind of love she brings every day to her work as CEO.

Onome’s story is about her leadership journey as a black female immigrant, a story about resilience in the face of perceptions, and a story about community and family. She often found herself kept in boxes throughout her career. Breaking out of those boxes became her signature behaviour as a leader and it helped shape who she has become today.   

“Everyone has a story to tell from their unique experiences and their lived experience. We should always remain curious to listen and to learn from people’s stories rather than coming into it with judgement” - Onome Ako
