We might not think Shakespeare's a great choice for finding women in leadership. But when we consider more carefully, we find many women leading where they are. Let's consider a couple: Juliet and Beatrice.
During Women's History month, we celebrate all the ways women lead!

Our final podcast of Black History month will focus on Black Tudors, with some context from the years before and after the Tudor period and a sense of what is happening around the world. This is an area of Tudor history I do not know enough about, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to dig into the scholarship of so many wonderful historians to learn more.
For history to show us what's possible, we need to know more...
As it's Black History Month in the US, I thought I would share some of my favorite Black women in British history that I think we all need to learn more about.

History shows us what's possible.
When faced with important decisions, what makes us say "yes" or "no"? Are our responses based on circumstance, fear of the person making the request, or our values? This week we take a look at Macbeth, Hamlet, and Thomas More to think about our values and how we use them.

In Hamlet, Polonius says, "This above all, to thine own self be true." Shakespeare realized that knowledge of values and authenticity can create great leaders. Katherine of Aragon and Mary I put this into practice.
