In this conversation with Kyla Hartsfield, spring reflects on her leadership journey. From testing the system in the military to helping CompassPoint become a laboratory for a decolonized, Pro-Black leadership practice. She names the courage it takes to do something that doesn’t yet exist, and invites us to honor intuition and lead in ways that seven generations from now will thank us for.
We share this conversation with deep gratitude for spring’s contributions and with a hope that it sparks reflection in you.
