Our spring cohort kicks off February 16th — get in the room by reserving your seat today.
For the ones determined to show up, speak up, and stand up — this program is for you.
It’s rooted in research on the realities Black women face at work, and built to deliver strategies you can implement to win in the workplace, without losing yourself in the process.
It’s here to offer frameworks that affirm your lived experiences and tools to abandon the unspoken rules you’ve followed to survive, but are ready to leave behind.
Six weeks. One transformative journey.
The DISRUPT program is a six week, self-paced experience you take in community with a cohort of Black women.
Each week of the program includes on-demand content you’ll move through at your own pace, plus live, virtual connects we use to dive deeper into the program strategies and gain insights on how to implement them in your life.
Here’s what that self-paced, community-led experience looks like week by week in our program:
Week 1: Meet your cohort (Feb. 16th)
You’ll gain access to all DISRUPT program content and meet your cohort at our live, virtual welcome on February 16th.
Week 2: Reclaim your ambition (Feb. 23rd)
In week 2 you’ll use our framework to begin mapping out a career strategy you can combine with the self-advocacy strategies you learn throughout the program. On February 23rd we’ll gather in community to share thoughts and insights in our first live community connect.
Week 3: Reclaim your community (Mar. 2nd)
In week 3, you’ll explore the principles of strategic network design and how you can use them to start building your own network of resilience and resistance. On March 2nd, we’ll use our cohort connect to dive deeper into the principles and how you can implement them to protect the investments you’ve made in your career.
Week 4: Reclaim your voice (Mar. 9th)
Speak to your work, advocate for yourself, and do so in ways that safeguard your paycheck with the tools and techniques learned in week 4. Then, get ready for some real talk on what it takes to implement these strategies during our virtual connect on March 9th.
Week 5: Reclaim your peace (Mar. 16th)
Week 5 is all about how to implement sustainable workplace boundaries and routines — even in toxic environments. Our cohort connect on March 16th will create space for us to explore how these strategies can play out in your workplace.
Week 6: DISRUPTion in motion (Mar. 23rd)
On this final day of our program, connect virtually with your cohort, reflect on your journey, and the strategic self-advocacy game plan you’re putting into motion.
This one’s for the
Enroll today to join our upcoming cohort. We can’t wait to meet you.
“Having the opportunity to be a part of the DISRUPT program these past 6 weeks was not only inspiring, but very strategic. This program helped me to reimagine what my goals truly are and stand firm on the belief that they are attainable. DISRUPT also gave me strategies and tools to use now and when I return back to the workforce. I was able to see things that I need to work on for myself, and things I need to keep in my arsenal to navigate the systems set in place for me to fail. I recommend DISRUPT to any woman trying to navigate this current corporate landscape, and in need of a reminder of who you are! Thank you so much for this opportunity Sarah!! You are amazing.”

“The advice, recommendations and resources that Sarah provided were (and still are!) top-tier. I appreciated the tailored content for Black women and the ability for Sarah to deeply understand the unique challenges Black women face and to be able to support those challenges with differentiated resources and content. I loved the formatting of the videos and the weekly cohort sessions to debrief content as well as being in community alongside others. Thank you, Sarah for creating this gift and for allowing me to be a part of a transformative program that is steeped in power and purpose. I know this program was a labor of love and it certainly showed in every detail, video, resource and support you offered. So appreciative of you being this phrase personified: “be the change you wish to see in the world.” Overjoyed and highly grateful for you and your work!”
