54. Kamala Harris: Clean Up or Set Up? Crossover with @YourDreamStrategist

We are in the off-season gearing up for Season 4. I want to show off this fabulous and talented human Rashidat Odeyemi! Rashidat is a life coach and business consultant who focuses on the needs of Black women. I joined her on her YouTube show @YourDreamStrategist to discuss the glass cliff experienced by Black women. And what better example than that of Vice President Kamala Harris and her run for presidency!

Here's Rashidat's episode description of this episode:

Kamala Harris election as the first Black woman president is both historic and bittersweet. While her leadership marks a major milestone, it also fits into a troubling pattern: Black women stepping into leadership roles during times of crisis, only to be burdened with the impossible task of cleaning up the mess. It also reveals a deeper issue within our community: the expectation for Black women to always be the strong ones, stepping in to fix problems and lead through crises. This strong Black woman trope continues to weigh heavily on us, preventing many Black women from fully embracing a softer, more balanced life. In this video, we explore how Harris leadership echoes these societal pressures and how Black women as a group are affected. Well dive into how it feels to constantly be called upon in moments of crisis. Well chat about the strong Black woman narrative, the glass cliff theory, and why Black women are often set up for failure in leadership. Is it time for us to reject the burdens of strength and start prioritizing our own joy, peace, and soft life? Share your thoughts in the comments as we reflect on Kamala Harris presidency and the expectations placed on Black women.
