When people are denied the right environment to practice communicating with clarity, confidence, and joy, they are held back from their full potential for leadership and well-being.

In schools, not incorporating student voice leads to disparities in engagement, graduation rates, leadership, and career readiness.

In workplaces, women, especially women of color, are still underrepresented in leadership positions and receive less support when they do become executive leaders.
