For centuries, black women have held leadership positions in a wide variety of domains in society. They haven’t always been recognised for their achievements and many times have had to fight through mountains of challenge and injustice. We have much to learn from these everyday heroes. In this season of The Sheerah podcast, listen to Lisa and Oge as they talk to some of these women, helping you discover what it takes to lead well despite all odds.

Customer Reviews
Inspirational listening
Many many black women have incredible stories and have achieved amazing things- we can never hear enough! This podcast is interesting, challenging, and inspirational whilst being intentionally real and not glossing over the many difficulties and hardships black women face in UK society today. My life is better for having heard from these women, have a listen and find yourself inspired!
