A Black Woman's Guide to Effective, Barrier-Breaking Leadership

Black women in leadership positions often experience resistance, both from external forces and from within. If you are a leader in your profession, community, or church, you may have been made to feel like an outsider—someone who must prove herself again and again to be worthy of following. Maybe you're tired, resentful, or beaten-down by the sense that you'll just never be good enough for some people.

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 shows how this outsider and outcast has been reduced to a stereotype by the same racist and sexist forces that attempt to reduce you to a stereotype and hinder your God-given call to leadership. She then shows how God uniquely positioned and equipped her to lead her people to the truth despite attempts to keep her silent and small.

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.

Must read for African American Christian Women

Great read for modern day African American Christian women. Easy read, love that the workbook is included with the book. Highly recommend for anyone called to lead.

“It’s up to us to be bodacious enough to invent ourselves as whole leaders…”

This book is a must read for those of us called to lead… to lead well and to lead FROM the WELL! The personal leadership stories shared by Dr. Jeanne Porter King combined with a sound interpretation of the Samaritan Woman’s biblical story will encourage you to practice and live out God’s leadership purpose for YOUR life! As Dr. Jeanne states in the closing of this book— “IT’S UP TO US TO BE BODACIOUS ENOUGH TO INVENT OURSELVES AS WHOLE LEADERS WHO LEAD FROM THE WELL. LET’S BE BODACIOUS IN LEADING WELL…BODACIOUS BLACK WOMEN.”

Lead me to deeper meaning of leading WELL

Authentic. Sincere. Beautifully bold. Clear. Concise. Encouraging. Legacy is way in the back and foundation of my mind. Establishing it the way God called me to...in the use of my talents and skills and passion was always blocked or stunted by two things I am now recovering: People-pleasing and workaholicism. After being blessed with an excellent coach in 2023, the reading of this book reinforced my focus of wisdom and deliverance of the old me as a workaholic and people-pleaser. Abundant gratitude to the author and those who surrounded her to make sure this literary artwork coined within the Samaritan woman and Christ, became available to me and many others.
