We Must Embrace Love as a Radical Act.
In her book, All About Love, author bell hooks defines love as a combination of care, commitment, trust, knowledge, responsibility, and respect. For Black women, Latinas and women of color in leadership, leading with love means rejecting oppressive structures and fostering environments where everyone can grow.
Leading with love involves:
nurturing relationships
valuing each individual's unique contributions
creating spaces where vulnerability is seen as a strength rather than a weakness.
Leading with love requires us to challenge the status quo and embrace our authentic selves… and it can be scary.
When we lead with love, we must acknowledge our own needs and desires and fiercely advocate for the well-being of our teams and communities. This holistic approach not only enriches our leadership but also sets a powerful example for others to follow.
When we leverage our lived experiences and cultural wisdom to navigate complex systems and foster collective growth, we begin to operate in alignment with our values. We can stay present and respond to change with creativity and resilience.
When we are our authentic selves, we kick ass.
It’s true - the change we seek in the world begins with ourselves. When we practice self-love and self-care, we model these behaviors for our teams and communities, creating ripples of positive transformation. Leading with love, in this context, becomes a strategic act of cultivating resilience and adaptability.
