This short video features me discussing the five components that make up my definition of a feminist leader.
The main components of feminist leadership for me are about maintaining a mindset that values inclusiveness, equality, and systems change. This work is also focused on relationships, so responsive to the feedback and suggestions of others, and focused on self-care, so maintaining the integrity of good boundaries and valuing both self and other in all interactions. The best feminist leaders I know are able to balance all of these values while making decisions that improve the quality of life for those concerned.
I made this video to participate in the Feminist Leadership Project’s series. If you’d like to participate in this project, you can go here for more details.
