In this episode of Voices That Move Us, Yohana Valdez speaks with Sarah Pendleton, Clerk of the Washington Supreme Court and a 2022 graduate of the Washington Leadership Institute (WLI). Sarah shares how WLI helped her overcome imposter syndrome and find a deep sense of belonging as a woman of color in leadership. She talks about the nontraditional path that led her to the highest court in the state, her work advancing language access and appellate court transparency, and the quiet power of writing job descriptions that welcome rather than gatekeep. Sarah reflects on her legacy, the importance of showing up for the next generation, and the resilience of programs like WLI.
