Ascent

Leadership Lab for Women and femmes of Color

Your leadership journey deserves a space where your brilliance is centered, your voice is amplified, and your growth is fully supported.

Join our pilot cohort: 4 weeks • Limited spots

✔ You’re a woman of color working in the nonprofit sector
✔ You’ve stepped into or are preparing for a leadership role
✔ You’re ready to define your leadership identity on your own terms
✔ You want to lead with confidence, equity, and authenticity

Why the Ascent Community?

Traditional Leadership spaces often overlook the lived experiences of women of color in nonprofits. We navigate bias, burnout, and the weight of imposter syndrome, all while carrying vision, resilience, and power.

Ascent is designed to change that.

This is a community-rooted coaching space where women of color can:

  • Define their leadership identity

  • Build confidence in their voice and decisions

  • Develop strategies for leading equitably and sustainably

  • Grow in community with other women of color leaders

What You’ll Gain

By the end of the 4 weeks, you will:

  • Feel grounded in your leadership identity

  • Gain tools to navigate challenges with confidence

  • Build authentic community with other women who understand your journey and experiences

  • Create a vision for leading with clarity, courage, and care
