I have probably been the worst leader of myself at times
that I could have been.
And that has been the thing that most impacted my life.
And it was also based on what I thought leadership was,
my relationship with leadership.
I was raised in a very narrow-minded,
very religious Southern Baptist family and community.
And so there was a very, very narrow idea
of what leadership looked like.
And it was usually an older white man.
And no matter what, you had to yield to that.
And then it was also God, right?
And like a very narrow concept of what God is
and a very specific context and relationship
with that leadership.
And with that vision of God.
