#TheDayWithTrae - On today’s episode, Trae Holiday interviewed Marquinta Obomanu, co-founder of SistahBoss, an organization dedicated to the leadership development of Black women in the Pacific Northwest. Obomanu, a Seattle native, discussed the genesis of SistahBoss, which she co-founded with her mother. The organization aims to provide resources and a supportive network for Black women navigating professional spaces where they might often be the sole Black woman in the room.

Obomanu highlighted the importance of a local focus for SistahBoss, noting the changing landscape of the Black community in Seattle and the need for in-person connection. She emphasized that SistahBoss offers coaching, leadership development programs, and community events, providing a unique space for Black women to discuss professional challenges and growth that might not be openly addressed in other settings.

The two women focused on SistahBoss's upcoming "Making Boss Moves Legacy Summit" on September 20th at Byrd Barr Place from 10AM to 2:30PM. This event, now in its second year, will feature a panel discussion on "breaking cycles and creating generational health," with topics ranging from self-care and mental health to financial resources. Holiday, who will be a panelist at the summit, expressed enthusiasm for the event's potential to inspire and connect Black women in the community.
