Beyond Optics: Transforming Power and Building New Tables Inspired by Tamika Harris

This episode explores how true transformation requires more than representation—it demands a reimagining of power itself. Inspired by Tamika Harris’s vision, we examine why celebrating Black women’s resilience isn’t enough if systems remain unchanged, and how real progress means centering their voices in decision-making. Through stories of leadership, collective action, and challenging the status quo, we uncover what it takes to move beyond optics and build new tables where everyone has meaningful influence. Tune in for insights on dismantling barriers, fostering intergenerational collaboration, and creating institutions that work for all.
