This video explains my leadership belief using a farming analogy, and also shares what I believe my leadership time is often called to be in order to be most impactful in shifting systems.

While leading as a Special Education Director, circumstances required that I assume leadership of an intensive services program of the district. While in this setting I began to investigate how race and gender of students and adults were impacting work conditions and services being provided.

After serving in the K-12 setting, I transitioned to an educational non-profit. This writing provides an example of my leadership tilling, being my authentic self in a all organization leadership team meeting, pushing against white normative ways of interacting, and reshaping organization wide conversations.

As an extension from the initial organizational conversations, I was invited to participate in three separate research studies focused on Black Executive Leadership and thriving in the workplace. This writing details those studies and my growth as a result of participating.
