Continuing the Work: Celebrating our 2024 Legacy Leaders

Sep 10

Leadership is where vision meets action. In the dynamic landscape of professional development, the Legacy Leadership Collective stands as a medium of transformative power. Our cohort members are not just participants; they are trailblazers, each bringing unique perspectives and experiences to the Collective journey and Legacy Leadership Life Cycle. For these inspiring ladies, being a part of this Collective means honing crucial leadership skills that are quintessential to embracing a shared commitment to community, innovation, and lasting impact.

Nanette Hill, Body Connection Pilates

Nanette’s connection to the Legacy Leadership Cohort signifies an important point in her professional journey as a business owner and Pilates instructor. At a time when she was seeking greater independence in her career and the decisions that she made for the expansion of her brand, this opportunity provided the perfect platform for growth and exploration. This experience, born out of a need to step out of her comfort zone, has given Nanette the space to be surrounded by a network of inspiring women, embrace the opportunity to learn and evolve and gain valuable insights from leadership development sessions and community meetings. Through Legacy Leadership, Nanette had deepened her commitment to being a catalyst for change in expanding her influence. This experience has allowed her to connect, grow, and contribute within a nurturing and collaborative environment, reinforcing her belief in the power of community and mutual support.

Adwoa Ulzen Setrakian, Human Temple Therapeutics LLC

A multi-faceted connector, Adwoa is a fervent believer in the mobilizing power of Genealogy and utilizing the knowledge provided to us by our ancestors via DNA to uncover the unknown about ourselves and build community in doing so. Adwoa’s professional journey is largely rooted in the value of Rooted Liberation, taking an intentional approach to community in her decision to participate in Legacy Leadership this year. She found herself deeply drawn to the program’s focus on personal growth, valuing the opportunity to learn more from others in the program and finding inspiration in the trailblazers around her. For Adwoa, Legacy Leadership was not only about discovering untapped potential--it was about immersion. Immersion in the power of sistering and immersion in the power of fostering meaningful connections within a community that has enriched her professionally.

Latasia Cox, Framework Marketing Consulting

For Latasia, leadership is largely shaped by coming together and shaping crucial elements of change in professional spaces. Driven by a deep commitment to uplifting the Joy of Black women through sistering, Latasia viewed her participation in Legacy Leadership as more than a program and more of an opportunity to take time and work on better aligning her ambitions to her values. Latasia was drawn to the program’s focus on long-term growth and empowerment and embraced this experience to deeply analyze her personal and professional evolution. The structured approach to Legacy Leadership skills-building and development became a transformative experience that motivated Latasia to build a lasting legacy. Through her involvement, she has cultivated meaningful connections, finding a supportive sisterhood that has enriched her both professionally and personally.

In this space, Andrea has found the inspiration to further her mission of uplifting underrepresented voices through her work, enriching the lives of those she touches.
