When we look at what is facing our community, racial equity, health disparities, economic injustice - its easy to get discouraged. These are complicated issues that will not be solved overnight, it takes leadership - often incremental. Since 1966, the The Arlington (VA) Chapter of The Links, Incorporated has worked to ensure that all community members have equal access to that leadership, those tables, and those "backrooms". In this episode we speak with three Black women leaders who have cracked the code-they lead, they serve, and they do it well. Alyia Gaskins serves on the Alexandria City Council, Amini Bonane is a champion for women and girls, and Charniele Herring is a member of the Virginia House of Delegates. Listen in to hear how they lead, and share their pearls of wisdom.
