Caribbean-American women are leaders—but do our workplaces recognize that? In this episode, Dr. Kerry Mitchell Brown joins me to unpack how cultural identity is a leadership strength. From code-switching to radical self-care, we explore what it means to lead boldly, confidently, and Caribbean.

Takeaways:

  • Cultural identity is not a weakness—it’s a strategic advantage.
  • Workplace narratives can be rewritten through self-awareness and storytelling.
  • Radical self-care is essential for sustainability and impact.
  • Leadership doesn’t require a title—it’s about influence and clarity of purpose.
  • You can’t do it all at once—and that’s okay.
