You've claimed your seat. You've learned how to thrive. Now what?
In this bold finale of the "Owning Your Seat at the Table" series, Dr. Tonya Williams delivers a compelling charge to every listener who knows deep down that they're not just called to occupy space, they're called to transform it.
This episode is a call to rise as a builder, a truth-teller, and a legacy-maker. It's for the quiet visionary with a loud calling. It's for the leader who's outgrown a table that no longer reflects their mission. And it's for the courageous soul who realizes their influence isn't complete until they've made room for others.
Dr. Tonya unpacks what it means to go from guest to host, from seated to sent, from present to pivotal.
What You'll Learn in This Episode:
How to discern when the table you fought for no longer aligns with your values or vision
Why your discomfort might be divine signaling it's time to create something new
What it means to build tables that include, elevate, and endure
The cost of silence—and how to speak up with clarity and conviction
The difference between temporary recognition and lasting impact
Why legacy isn't about status, it's about obedience and stewardship
Story Highlight:
Dr. Tonya shares a deeply personal moment when she realized the table she was seated at couldn't sustain the weight of her vision. That revelation didn't lead to retreat—it led to a powerful pivot. The result? New rooms, mentoring spaces, and leadership platforms that are still equipping others today.
Power Quote:
"Silence isn't a stop sign—it's often a signal that it's time to start something new."
—Dr. Tonya Williams
Action Step:
This week, ask yourself: Where do I need to build? Who's not represented at the tables I'm part of? Take one intentional step to create space for someone else and speak the truth in a room where silence has lingered too long.
Because the future isn't waiting on more noise, it's waiting on your courage.
