She speaks about applying a Compassionate Leadership approach to her work, and this is how she leads against a current, by having a firm sense and a rhythm of compasssion.

What Create A Voice, learned from Edina Lekovic…

The “glass ceiling” has been challenged and it’s now being cracked, by the intelligent leadership of women reshaping the world, as it should be. America is now beginning to apply new leadership approaches, in order to facilitate its new diverse society. More voices are rising into public arenas, not only asking for their civil rights accordingly, but are asking for their human birth rights for matters of equality and existence. At the helm of this movement are compassionate women who represents ~ common ground and solidarity.

The Arabic word for community is Ummah, and its root word is Umm which means “Mother.” It is no surprise to understand and see our Sisters leading social justice actions. Their innate motherhood qualities will not allow injustice to exist within the home. We acknowledge our sisters, are Mothers of Societies, and we are their children and justice is what they want for their global families. #createavoice
