What Does The Current Political Landscape Mean For Black Leaders?
Welcome to Season 3! We’re kicking things off with a timely and raw conversation about the current political landscape and how it is impacting Black leaders.
In this episode, we’re unpacking the ripple effects of the post-2024 election climate and what it means for Black folks in positions of leadership. As social justice fatigue deepens, DEI funding disappears, and political tensions rise, the stakes are shifting fast, and often quietly.
So we’re asking:
What does leadership actually look like when the external support dries up but the expectations don’t?
How are Black leaders being positioned as symbols, shields, or scapegoats?
What pressure is being put on Black leaders to hold credibility, carry justice, and stay employed in increasingly hostile or indifferent environments?
And what survival strategies are we still using that might keep us afloat—but are slowly burning us out?
