#115 | Building Resilient Women: Leadership, Sisterhood, + Self-Belief

In this episode of Contagious Culture, we sit down with Shantell Jeter, founder of You Got It Girl and Manager of Special Projects at Boston Public Schools. Shantell Jeter is a powerhouse educator, coach, and community builder dedicated to empowering young women to embrace their value, build confidence, and become resilient leaders. With over 300,000 Black women recently pushed out of the workforce due to federal budget cuts and the rollback of DEI initiatives, Shantell’s work has never been more urgent. Through basketball, leadership programming, and a strong focus on sisterhood, she is creating spaces where girls can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally and learn that everything they need to succeed is already inside them. In this conversation, we explore the intersection of leadership, resilience, and self-belief, hear inspiring stories from the girls she mentors, and discuss how programs like You Got It Girl can change the trajectory for the next generation. Shantell also shares how educators and communities can continue supporting young women in a world that too often underestimates their potential. Tune in to learn actionable insights on how to nurture confidence, foster meaningful connections, and raise a generation of women who are ready to lead with courage and purpose.
