As women and People of Color, we are practicing leadership with a double (or triple, or quadruple) consciousness. How do we demonstrate our strengths and skills while negotiating a world that assumes less capability of us? How do we navigate microaggressions directed at us while acknowledging the positional power we hold in our institutions? How do we walk the balance of defying stereotypes and being true to ourselves? What unique gifts do we bring to the leadership table precisely because we are women and People of Color? Discuss these and other questions, challenges, and opportunities in this interactive session.

18. Rosetta’s Personal Mission Statement
for Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, Cultural
Competency, and Social Justice
I inherited a world full of inequity and
suffering. Despite it all, I still believe in the
fundamental goodness, beauty, and
potential of every person. The ills of this
world are not my fault, but righting this
world is my responsibility. Therefore, I will
always add my stubborn ounces to the
correct side of the scales of justice.

37. Stubborn Ounces
(To the One Who Doubts the Worth of Doing Anything If You Can’t Do
Everything)
by Bonaro W. Overstreet
You say the Little efforts that I make
will do no good: they never will prevail
to tip the hovering scale
where Justice hangs in balance.
I don’t think I ever thought they would.
But I am prejudiced beyond debate
in favor of my right to choose which side
shall feel the stubborn ounces of my weight.
