Leading Ladies

leadership development program - Under Construction

letters to my young ladies -

Inspired by the late, impactful, critical, and influential writer, Bell Hooks, we established Letters to my Young Ladies, to serve as a living toolkit…a source of wisdom, best practices, support and accountability for our future leading ladies. This initiative is open to all women legally aged 18+. We would like to provide advice and insight to our future leaders as they embark on their adulthood. Share red flags and best practices in navigating through any domain: academic, career, dating and most importantly… one’s journey to self-love.

Women who choose to love must be wise, daring, and courageous. All around us the culture of lovelessness mocks our quest for love. Wisdom is needed if we would restore love to its rightful place as a heroic journey, arduous, difficult - more vital to human survival and development on planet Earth than going off to slay mythical dragons, to ravage and conquer others with war or all other forms of violence that are like war. Wisdom is needed if we are to demand that our culture acknowledge the journey to love as a grand, magical, life-transforming, thrilling, risky adventure.

As wise, loving women, our gift to girls of all ages is sharing everything that we have learned on our path to love.
