Bridging the Coaching Gap with Santana Inniss

Send us Fan MailWhy is high-level coaching often reserved for those who already have a seat at the table? In this episode, Kelly sits down with Santana Inniss, the powerhouse founder behind The GLOW Initiative, to discuss the systemic barriers preventing women—particularly women of color—from accessing the mentorship and coaching they need to thrive.From placing provocative billboards against ineffective politicians to matching hundreds of women with life-changing coaching, Santana shares her journey of turning "brave honesty" into a global movement. We dive into the "hyper-individualism" of the coaching industry, the importance of sustainable income for female coaches, and why silence is often a greater risk than speaking up.This year Glowi will celebrate its third annual International Women's Day Inititive by providing free coaching to women. Glowi will be crossing the milestone of 500 women coached for free. I encourage you to donate what you can and consider becoming a coach.Check out the Glow Initiative: https://glowi.org/Connect with Santana: https://www.linkedin.com/in/santanainniss/About Santana:Santana Inniss has broken barriers at every turn.
