International Women’s Day invites us to pause.
To reflect.
To recognize progress and to recommit to the work still ahead.

On Sunday, March 8 at 12 PM EST, I will host a special live edition of the Building Leadership Community Podcast in honor of this global moment.

During this conversation, I will share the women, authors, and lived experiences that have shaped my leadership journey and deepened my commitment to equity, professional advancement, and community building.

What We Will Explore

• The origins and global significance of International Women’s Day
• The authors whose work expanded my understanding of leadership
• Reflections on powerful voices from Season Three of the podcast
• The responsibility we carry to build more equitable spaces

This conversation is designed for leaders, aspiring executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals who believe growth happens in community.

And I want to say clearly: this gathering is for all genders. Progress requires solidarity. I encourage you to attend, to engage in the dialogue, and to share this event with colleagues and peers who are committed to building inclusive workplaces and communities.

A Gift in Celebration of International Women’s Day

In honor of International Women’s Day, I am extending the conversation beyond the livestream.

I am offering a complimentary digital copy of my chapter, Below the Surface of HR & DEI: An Afro-Latina’s Leadership Journey, from Latinas Rising Up in HR, Vol. 3.
