What does it mean to rise in rooms that were never designed with you in mind?
This week, I sit down with Starrlee DeGrace @tea\with\starrlee, corporate leader, advocate, cultural voice, and legacy builder. As an Indigenous woman in the executive space, she has built a career on staying fully herself in places that expected her to shrink.
We go deep on:
- The early moments that shaped her ambition, and the breakthrough that changed her trajectory
- Code-switching, authenticity, and what representation actually means beyond diversity quotas
- When advocacy became part of her identity, and why women in leadership carry a responsibility to lift others
- How to build influence strategically inside an organization
- The career mistakes ambitious women keep making, and how to position yourself for promotion
- What power looks like to her now
You’ll want to replay this episode!
This is a conversation about power, visibility, and the legacy you’re building every time you walk into the room. Walk in your power. 👠
