In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Bytes, Bits & Brilliance, host Dawn Butler invites listeners into a heart-to-heart about what it truly means to use our voices — especially as Black women in Cybersecurity and Tech leadership.

Dawn shares her journey from silence to self-advocacy, from fighting invisible internal battles to boldly standing up for fairness, equity, and representation. With emotional depth and practical wisdom, she unpacks how fear, culture, and corporate dynamics can silence us — and how faith, courage, and community can help us speak again.

Listeners will walk away inspired and equipped to use their voices in their careers, relationships, and communities — not just to be heard, but to create change.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• What “using your voice” really means in leadership and in life
• How silence can become an internal fight we don’t even realize we’re losing
• The spiritual and emotional transformation that happens when we start speaking up
• Practical ways to use your voice at work, in meetings, and in your community
• Why representation and visibility matter for Black women in cybersecurity
• How public speaking can amplify your influence and open unexpected doors

Plus: Dawn shares how you can work with her to find your voice, build confidence, and step onto stages — both in your life and at tech conferences where your story and expertise deserve to be heard. Learn more here
