JADED by Leadership: Deb Haaland on Imposter Syndrome, the Trump Administration, & Fighting Back

Being the first Native person to serve in a presidential Cabinet is a historic milestone, but it’s also a path filled with immense pressure and sometimes loneliness. This week, Jade catches up with her mentor Secretary Deb Haaland to reflect on her historic tenure at the Department of the Interior and her current race for Governor of New Mexico.They dive into the "keyboard warrior" culture that exists even within our own movements, the importance of acknowledging collective harm before healing can begin with an honest conversation about the emotional aftermath of President Biden’s long overdue apology for Federal Indian Boarding Schools, and why representation is about much more than just a seat at the table.
