How to Show Up for the Black Community

Dr. Akilah Cadet is the founder of Change Cadet consulting firm, which offers a broad array of diversity services including executive coaching, strategic planning, crisis rebuilding, and facilitation. Cadet is a French term that means soldier (and happens to be Akilah’s last name). As it’s often an uphill battle for women, people of color, and marginalized communities to achieve success in the workplace, Change Cadet prepares soldiers of change to overcome these continuous battles to be their best selves. Akilah has 15+ years of experience working in various organizations, with both private and public sector companies. She literally has all the degrees, lives in Oakland, has a rare heart condition, and is a proud Beyoncé advocate.
