Leading with Heart: Lessons from History's Silent Heroes History's unsung heroes teach us that genuine leadership stems from heart, not just authority. Let’s take a leaf out of Razia Jan’s book: she saw a need in her community and took action. Similarly, we can identify challenges in our neighborhoods and step up. Perhaps it’s starting a community garden, mentoring a young person, or creating safe spaces for open dialogue. It's about recognizing the needs of those around us and taking small, actionable steps. The ripple effects of our actions, no matter how minor they seem, can lead to profound change. When we lead with heart, we not only uplift our community but also set a legacy of hope and resilience.

Over the past decade, countless social change organizations have taken important strides to confront systemic racism at its core. They've actively sought leadership from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) individuals, recognizing the power of diverse perspectives. But the journey doesn't stop there. In many cases, organizations have not created the conditions that would support these leaders to flourish. Nevertheless, leaders of color have brought strength, experience, and brilliance into positions of power and created ways to advance much needed change. Uncover their insights, experiences, and recommendations for more equitable transitions in ROBERT STERLING CLARK FOUNDATION, INC.'s report Brilliant Transformation: Toward Full Flourishing in BIPOC Leadership Transitions Download the report here: https://lnkd.in/eVuw_7ns #BIPOC #Leadership #RacialEquity #Organizations #SocialChange

Gatekeeping is defined as the activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something. Annot Inc. is doing the opposite and is a gate-breaker focused on many things including helping students navigate complicated admissions processes, hidden curriculums and more. Give them a follow as they aim to level the playing field. Shoutout to Chiedza Juru, Marshall Bizure, MBA, MPA, Ms Accounting, CIMA and Kenneth Asher for leading these efforts! 🙌🏾 Having been helped by many to get to where I am, it is my privilege to help others. Also in my description is a shoutout to my fellow footie fans that have had to transition from midfield to defense with age😅 #education #admissions #gatekeeping #gatebreaking
