Black women in leadership roles frequently encounter resistance, both from external sources and from within. If you hold a leadership position in your profession, community, or church, you may have felt like an outsider, someone who must continually prove their worth to be worthy of following. Perhaps you are exhausted, resentful, or defeated by the feeling that you will never be good enough for certain individuals. Take heart and take a seat at the table with Jeanne Porter King. Drawing from the biblical account of the Samaritan woman at the well, King demonstrates how this outsider and outcast has been reduced to a stereotype by the same racist and sexist forces that seek to diminish you and hinder your God-given call to leadership. She then reveals how God uniquely positioned and equipped her to lead her people to the truth, despite attempts to silence and diminish her. If you long to lead from a strong spiritual core rather than a set of expectations you had no part in setting, this book offers you the inspiration, encouragement, and practical tools to make leading well a reality in your life.
