Jacqueline believes that 2023/2024 are the years where there will be a continuance and significant paradigm shift across the ED&I landscape. With the loss of lives through the pandemic and, the tragic death of George Floyd, the call for people with ‘lived experience’ is needed more now than ever to help organisations with their strategies to break these biases within their cultural infrastructure. Biases have been ever present in every strand of society and, is now being challenged and vocalised within organisations. We must be bold in what we stand for, feeling the fear and doing it anyway is part of the driver for us all as women to still rise, ensuring we are helping other women to develop their potential and rise also.
About My Research
My work is decolonial in the way it explores Black Leadership within corporate and healthcare organisations and, how colonialism has historically and, is presently impacting the progression of Black leaders and aspiring leaders within these organisations today. I’ll be exploring from historical mindsets and behaviours that are deeply entrenched and, systemically seen as an acceptable feature and infrastructure that affects Black leaders attaining more senior leaderships roles and progressing within corporate and healthcare organisations.
There is a strong need for the dissemination and understanding of how colonialism and slavery has impacted and impeded historically, the promotion and advancement of black people into more senior leadership roles within organisations; and the use of psychoanalytical concepts in understanding the barriers faced by Black leaders; exploring the influence of inner forces that may not be clear or apparent to Black leaders – and the psychoanalytic approach to authority and organisations; and the impact of socio-political inequality in terms of class, race, gender etc., on the ability of Black people to aspire and progress into senior leadership roles within the corporate and public healthcare arenas.
Although this notion is not palatable, it is however, seemingly acceptable and, in many ways unchallenged in the realms of institutional racism; this behaviour blatantly and systematically underpins the basis for non-progression of Black leaders in corporate and healthcare organisations. These lead me to raise and highlight my own experiences within past and present leadership roles as a Black woman within corporate and healthcare arenas.
