These are the stories of leaders of color who carry the legacies of those who built the movement to end gender-based violence. They carry on the fighting spirit of giants who have moved on from this work like Sojourner Truth, Grace Lee Boggs, bell hooks, Ida B. Wells, Audre Lorde, and Yuri Kochiyama. We talk about the ways they have been harmed by this world while trying their hardest to keep their passion for the movement alive. Consider this our love letter to them and to aspiring leaders of color looking for belonging, inspiration, and affirmation.

22 AGO 2022 · In this episode of “Leadership Moves” we spoke with Blanca Valentin, a licensed mental health clinician who has practiced in the Boston area for over 20 years. With the application of mindfulness, healing circles, and restorative/transformative approaches Blanca has worked with individuals/families who have experienced trauma, depression, and other social, emotional challenges, including racism, violence, incarceration and those who have suffered injustices and oppression.
Blanca spoke with us about how she invites her staff to bring their healing practices to the workplace, as a way of combating grind culture. Indeed, mental health often carries a stigma for people of color in the workplace. Blanca helps us understand how to normalize, support and empower communities of color to recognize our power and to begin a safe and healthy journey to wellness and self-care in the workplace.
25 LUG 2022 · In this episode of “Leadership Moves,” we spoke with Angel Charley, the Executive Director of the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women. The coalition was founded in 1996 in New Mexico by 3 native women Peggy Bird (Kewa), Darlene Correa (Laguna Pueblo), and Genne James (Navajo). Over 2 decades later, the coalition continues to be a resource for training, advocate support, technical assistance and policy advocacy.
But in this episode, we’ll be zeroing in on Angel’s experience “falling into” movement work and the behind the scenes process to becoming the executive director at a native-led coalition. She shares the intimate details that led to her being nominated as interim executive director and later becoming the Executive Director. Her story asks us as all to question what it means to be a leader when you may not feel 100% ready to take the lead. When will be be "ready enough?"

27 GIU 2022 · In this episode of the Leadership Moves Podcast, we speak with Raven Loaiza, who shares a personal story that highlights the dehumanizing impact of detention and deportation on mixed status, immigrant families. The conversation that follows encourages us as leaders and advocates to ask ourselves:
What happens when we, the advocates, need advocacy? How do we show up for work and ask for support? And What happens when we are led by people who teach us that vulnerability is okay, so long as you feel safe being vulnerable?
Building trauma-informed and resilient organizations takes a group of leaders who are willing to understand the complexities of each individual person’s lived experience with violence and oppression.
