Her Climb: Women of colour talk about leadership and resilience in a changing world. Podcast

In this podcast, Her Climb, we speak with women of colour about leadership. The strength, resilience, and unique perspective of these women has a hand in shaping the world we live in today, however all too often we don’t hear their voices or see them. Studies on women can group all women into one category, minimizing the unique experiences of women of colour. Through our conversations we begin to understand what diverse and inclusive leadership looks like and how we can begin to create organizations that make space for women of colour to lead.
