Even at the top of your game, do you often struggle with the burden of being everything to everybody? Then you know well the unique opportunities and challenges of leading while Black and a woman. Drawing from the biblical account of the Samaritan woman at the well, Jeanne Porter King shows how this outsider 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.
