The key to change is knowledge and empathy. And she has deepened into the mission to empower not only black women but every human to have a powerful voice and an equitable seat at any table they desire to be seated at. There’s a quote that you wrote or were inspired by on Facebook, that sat with me so deeply “The best leadership starts with the best conversations” [Naketa Thigpen 2:58]What I found in my own journey to leadership was that people just want it to be heard. And that's what made me a lot different was that I listened and then took action instead of taking action without listening. [Lekeshia Angelique 4:41] More about Lekeshia AngeliqueMy unique educational background has also led me (unknowingly) to be in the position I am in today, owning my own business doing exactly what I love. I completed a year under the mentorship of the Diversity and Inclusion Executive at Colgate, where I gained valuable lessons and practical, hands-on experience in a large corporate setting.Contact: Lekeshia AngeliqueWebsite: www.lekeshiaangelique.com Social Media: LinkedIn: /in/lekeshiaangeliqueFacebook: /lekeshiamoore81 If you are willing and ready, let’s shake the shame and spread healing & hope to women ready to get more of what they want.
