Feminist Leadership
What does leadership that is feminist look like, and who can
be a feminist leader? A person of any gender can be a feminist, if they
practice feminist values. In this discussion, we'll focus on four feminist
values: Solidarity (lifting each other up), Resilience (practicing self care
and community care), Sustainability (sustainable work models) and Systemic
Justice (actively working to end oppression and bring about liberation). We'll
talk about how folks in leadership roles can model these values, and how
practicing these values *is* leadership.
