Description

In this episode of “Leadership Moves,” we spoke with Angel Charley, the Executive Director of the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Native Women. The coalition was founded in 1996 in New Mexico by 3 native women Peggy Bird (Kewa), Darlene Correa (Laguna Pueblo), and Genne James (Navajo). Over 2 decades later, the coalition continues to be a resource for training, advocate support, technical assistance and policy advocacy. But in this episode, we’ll be zeroing in on Angel’s experience “falling into” movement work and the behind the scenes process to becoming the executive director at a native-led coalition. She shares the intimate details that led to her being nominated as interim executive director and later becoming the Executive Director. Her story asks us as all to question what it means to be a leader when you may not feel 100% ready to take the lead. When will be be "ready enough?"This project is supported by Grant No 2020-TA-AX-K022 awarded by the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S. Department of Justice.

These are the stories of leaders of color who carry the legacies of those who built the movement to end gender-based violence. They carry on the fighting spirit of giants who have moved on from this work like Sojourner Truth, Grace Lee Boggs, bell hooks, Ida B. Wells, Audre Lorde, and Yuri Kochiyama. We talk about the ways they have been harmed by this world while trying their hardest to keep their passion for the movement alive. Consider this our love letter to them and to aspiring leaders of color looking for belonging, inspiration, and affirmation.
