If you’d like to empower you and your people to become more authentic leaders
Melissa shares her own personal practice of radically authentic leadership as a queer Filipina American born in Nigeria who came to the States as undocumented immigrant.
Once upon a time, Melissa was a painfully shy intern who rarely said a word during meetings. She never would’ve imagined that she would go on to become a Chief Operations Officer winning over VCs and helping raise $1.9 million in London to a Motivational Speaker speaking truth to power across the globe and nurturing a socially conscious organization focused on designing a society where we all feel powerful and equal.
