About this episode

Rohene Bouajram and Bianca B. King discuss redefining ambition for women of colour, emphasizing self-trust and joy over perfectionism.

Ambition, radical self-trust, and intentional joy. This conversation between Rohene Bouajram and Bianca B. King explores what it means for women of colour to redefine ambition on our own terms.  Leaving home at 13, later walking away from a successful corporate real estate career, and rebuilding from her “$38 moment” are all experiences that Bianca points back to as a series of catalysts to cross her line into the next version of herself. That experience fueled her mission to help women pursue success with joy, rather than burnout. Rohene and Bianca unpack the difference between ambition and perfectionism, and how women can reframe ambition as a source of self-liberation rather than pressure.  This episode reminds us that success and joy can coexist, and radical self-trust is the bridge between ambition and peace.   Connect with Bianca: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/biancahenryking/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pdambitious/ Website: https://www.biancabking.com/     Connect with Rohene: LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/rohenebouajram/ Website www.rohenebouajram.com   Access resources to redefine your leadership…
