Reimagining and Redesigning Civil Leadership with Nike Irvin

Reimagining and Redesigning with Antionette D. Carroll

Antionette D. Carroll and Managing Director of the Civil Society Fellowship Nike Irvin explore the complexities of equity, liberation, justice, and leadership in today's society.

They stress the importance of reimagining civil leadership and decision-making through a lens of equity and liberation and share their experiences of being part of selection committees for executive roles while exploring the weight of their decisions, particularly when it comes to long-term impact and legacy. Nike shares some actionable steps for building empathy and understanding, such as writing with your non-dominant hand to challenge accepted norms and bring awareness to societal imbalances.

The conversation culminates with a future-focused discussion, urging listeners to be more curious and empathetic. Nike envisions a future where humanity has evolved to become more equitable, embracing diversity as a superpower rather than a checkbox. Antionette and Nike agree that the quest for a more equitable and liberated society is a continual journey that requires constant rethinking, reimagining, and redesigning systems and norms.
