Massachusetts LGBT Chamber of Commerce, Inc.

Join National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC)’s Heritage Committee and MALGBTCC in celebrating Pride Month with an inspiring storytelling session that explores the intersection of queerness, healing, and leadership. Sacred Walker, a Jamaican-born, Black queer woman, proud LGBTBE, and founder of Everyday Superheroes Coaching Inc., shares how her journey of personal transformation became the foundation for a purpose-driven business.   Through reflections on identity, visibility, and inclusion, this session will highlight how psychological safety, cultural pride, and presence can drive business success and empower visionary leadership in the LGBTQ and allied community. Attendees will walk away with a personal story of identity-driven entrepreneurship, tools for building psychological safety and authentic leadership, insights on queerness and culture as business assets, and inspiration to lead with clarity, wellness, and purpose.
