The Way We Lead | An Inclusive Leadership Podcast: The Way We Lead (TWWL) is a podcast about what it means to be a leader, an ally and an advocate for underrepresented folks. We feature real-world stories of inclusive leadership and allyship and highlight folks across industries, titles, and identities who use their influence to raise others up. Join us as we dig deep on topics of identity, power, and privilege and hopefully grow as allies in the process. Heads up: we do curse occasionally. Some research says it means we’re intelligent, but we mostly do it because we’re being our full authentic selves and don’t want to filter our thoughts on these topics.
