Hello, friends,
Something is shifting in the way I anchor my work. If you've seen my LinkedIn banner or website home page, you've probably had an inkling.
Most people know me as someone who talks and writes about anti-racism, about introversion, about publishing and content creation, about carrying multiple identities and the costs of and strategies for showing up in spaces that aren't always welcoming.
That's not going away. It's foundational. But one of the things I come across in my work is the brilliant, experienced woman who wants to bring something transformational to the world, yet is stuck. The woman who feels silenced and shut down by systems not meant to lift her up.
I have been that person, and I have helped that person - multiple times in different ways. I've been feeling for a while that there is a thread that connects everything, and now I'm giving it a name: Unsilenced™ - helping people get what’s in their head into the world, in a way that is structured, sustainable, and unmistakably theirs.
So I'm going to talk more about what silencing looks like in different contexts, and what it takes to become Unsilenced™. I’m sure many of my fellow introverts can relate.
I've been doing this work for quite a while and now I'm intentionally building the architecture that connects it all. Watch this space...
What comes up for you when you think about breaking the silence?
P.S. Look out for another update soon about an event just for introverts coming up next month in the UK.
