In this episode, we dive into how organizations can break concrete ceilings and transform leadership pathways for Black women. Inspired by Ashley Barton’s groundbreaking work, we explore why the real barriers to advancement are systemic—not individual—and highlight the importance of sponsorship, intentional promotion, and valuing authentic leadership styles. Through powerful case studies and actionable insights, discover how collective action and cultural change can create workplaces where Black women’s leadership is recognized, elevated, and celebrated. Join us as we reimagine what true progress looks like and challenge you to use your influence to open doors for the next generation of leaders.
