The Ohtli Encuentro – Women of Color Share Pathways to Leadership

This beautiful book presents the voices of 30 African American, Latina and Native American women who share their leadership journeys. IDRA brought together these women leaders to capture, honor and share their inspiring stories of leadership. This book highlights their moving stories. Four dimensions, or pathways, of leadership were shared by the women as they told their personal stories: (1) history, language and culture; (2) community engagement; (3) vision, spirit and values; and (4) social change and institutional transformation. The book is accompanied with analytic reflections that present a brief review of the literature on women’s leadership and discusses common themes that arose from the women’s interactions in a multicultural, multi-generational gathering designed to explore leadership in women of color. The word ohtli means “pathway” in the Nahuatl (Mexican indigenous) language.
