We want to celebrate and have a little fun! So we asked ChatGPT to help us make this flyer...

But the rest of this post is from US! Here's our news...

๐Ÿ The GuidePost: Cohort I is complete. ๐Ÿคญ

And what was builtโ€ฆwas not surface-level.

This cohort did not come to be inspired.

They came to examine how they operate โ€” and they did the work.

Over five weeks, leaders:
โœ” Aligned their values to their operations
โœ” Named where their systems were out of order
โœ” Built frameworks that move beyond intention
โœ” Strengthened their authority with accountability
โœ” Designed what it means to lead righteously in real time

And just as we had hoped and prayed for...

Those in the room finally took a moment to stop performingโ€ฆand started building.

We would like to say to every participant in Cohort I โ€”

Thank you for your discipline, your honesty, and your willingness to lead differently. You didnโ€™t just complete a program.

You shifted your internal infrastructure.

For those who were waitlisted or the timing wasn't right..this one is for you.

๐Ÿ“ Whatโ€™s next:

The next cohort is coming!!

๐Ÿ—“ Applications Open: Friday, May 1st
๐Ÿ—“ Application Deadline: July 31st
๐Ÿ—“ Acceptance Notifications: Monday, August 24th

๐Ÿ“ 5-Week Cohort (Virtual):
September 29th
October 6th
October 13th
October 20th
October 27th

๐Ÿ“ In-Person Option Available (Tri-State Area)
(More details coming soon)

We want to be clear...this is not just another course, or some motivational space to make you feel good.

The intention for each cohort is formation + operational clarity.

Seeking to shift your ENTIRE paradigm with one small lens development at a time.

If you are ready to examine how you lead, how your internal systems function, and what your leadership is actually producing...

๐Ÿ The GuidePost is where that work can begin.

This is formation through:
๐Ÿ‘ Application only
๐Ÿ‘ Group Cohort with other leaders
๐Ÿ‘ Where Iron Sharpens Iron
๐Ÿ‘ Getting to the work not just the talk

More details will be released as we approach May 1st.

Whew! Still riding the high from guest lecturing at Cornell University for a Stakeholder Engagement course ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ผ

In true Imana Borena fashion, I didnโ€™t go the traditional route. Instead, I dropped gems about Relational Currencyโ€”my take on social capital that calls us to see relationships as currency. ๐Ÿ’Žโœจ

We talked about how trust, time, and consistency build valueโ€”and how that currency opens doors. The convo was SO good, we stayed 30 minutes over time! ๐Ÿ˜…

Huge thanks to Professor Tavares and every brilliant student in the room. You all are destined to be trailblazers. I hope this gem sets you apart in righteousness and integrity. Keep being great. ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐ŸŒŸ Honored to have been the lunch keynote at the New York State Association for Mobility Management 2024 Summit! ๐ŸŒŸ

I had the privilege of sharing the intersection of my identity as someone who is an NYC native and has experienced various modes of transportation that sought to meet my human needs. During my talk, I emphasized the importance of โ€œWords Have Meaning,โ€ aiming to disrupt the monotony of inequitable resource distribution to underserved and historically ignored communities.

We delved into the critical shift from interpersonal to intrapersonal reflection, highlighting that well-meaning intentions alone are insufficient. Our decision-making processes must address the root causes of systemic impacts to avoid causing significant harm.

It was exciting to learn with those who seek to provide and attain equitable transportation solutions that truly serve every community. ๐Ÿš๐Ÿšฒ๐Ÿš†

Faith in Action: Answering God's Call for Social Justice

In the sacred scriptures, we discover a timeless messageโ€”a call to seek justice, defend the oppressed, and uphold righteousness. Psalms 82:3-4 and Isaiah 1:17 remind us that faith is not a spectator sport; it's a catalyst for social justice.

So, how does faith intersect with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)? It's simple. Our faith, when genuinely embraced, compels us to bridge the gap between belief and action. It encourages us to confront biases, challenge prejudice, and advocate for fairness, making it a powerful force for positive change in the realm of DEI.

We invite you to dive deeper into this inspiring connection between faith and justice. Our latest article explores the Biblical Foundations of Social Justice and how we can answer God's call for equity in our modern world. Embrace your roles as instruments of change and advocates for the marginalized and often historically ignored.

Social justice is a catalyst to weaving a tapestry of love, unity, and inclusion that reflects the very heart of God. ๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ &Belonging
