In this episode, we dive into the powerful lessons of standing tall and shining unapologetically, inspired by Grace Grymes Chapman. Discover why your brilliance is non-negotiable, how shrinking to fit others’ comfort comes at too high a cost, and what it looks like when Black women refuse to play small in politics and corporate America. We unpack the data, the lived experiences, and the strategies for setting boundaries, seeking sponsorship, and choosing spaces that honor your full presence. Walk away with practical steps to protect your light, audit your environment, and redefine success on your own terms—because thriving means never dimming your brilliance for anyone.
