Interview: Samara Bay

Samara Bay: "When we tell a story about a tiny moment, and how it impacted us, it is actually the most revealing thing of our character we could possibly do. Where we come from does not win over what we did in a hard moment." Meet Samara Bay, who coaches rising business leaders, political hopefuls, and public figures who need to speak in a voice they recognize as their own to truly make waves. She is the author of Permission to Speak, a "game-changing guide to redefining what power and authority sound like." Join Samara and Leela Sinha as they laugh, cry, and share stories in this special interview episode of Power Pivot. "it's a decolonizing act, and it is a queering act, to start to question the ways that we have normalized and normied ourselves: for safety, for proximal power; and to love on those instincts of ours to get by, while also getting curious about what else is possible." -Samara Bay Permission to Speak is available in hardcover, ebook, or audiobook (read by the author) from Penguin Random House.
