Building Thought Leadership as a Marginalized Voice 🎙️✨
Tired of waiting for permission to lead? In this episode, we sit down with Sisonke Msimang to unpack what it actually takes to become a thought leader—especially when the world wasn't built with you in mind.
We get into:
- 🔥The audacity required to claim your voice when structural violence says you shouldn't
- 📖 Why your belief in yourself has to come FIRST—before the book deal, the Ted stage, the validation
- 👁️ The power dynamics keeping marginalized voices off the megaphone (and how to reclaim it)
- 💪 Why Black women and marginalized storytellers stepping into public power literally changes everything
- 🎯 The difference between existing in public and being truly amplified
This conversation is raw, unapologetic, and absolutely essential listening for anyone building influence from the margins.
