The first two months lay the foundation for understanding how gendered trauma operates in both personal and systemic contexts, preparing fellows to lead with awareness and empathy.
This phase shifts from trauma awareness to owning one’s leadership with confidence, particularly in fundraising and strategic communication. The focus is on shifting mindsets about money, funders, and self-worth, while ensuring that grassroots leaders can powerfully articulate their impact.
The final phase focuses on leading through uncertainty, resisting patriarchal models of power, and embedding trauma-informed approaches into leadership.
