Women Express Podcast Interview with Lisa Hamilton – 

Lisa Hamilton is Shaping the future of  
 America’s Youth from the C-Suite. A story about a Black Woman leading as CEO and changing things from the top.
Lisa Hamilton is the president and chief executive officer of the Annie E. Casey Foundation, a private philanthropic organization dedicated to building a brighter future for children, families, and communities in the United States. What is so unique about our talk is she shares her warm and everyday approach to being a woman in her role as CEO and her passion for uplifting the underserved youth of our nation. We talk about what it means to be one of very few Black Women CEOs and what it took for her to rise to this position. Catalyst cites that women CEOs of the Fortune 500 still make up a hand fill. Despite modest progress, women are still dramatically underrepresented in leadership roles. For example, 26% of women are in the C-suite, with Black women representing less than 5%. Just four women who identify as Black has served as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company:  These Statistics show how significant Lisa’s presence and leadership are for representing women as leaders of the C-Suite. Her leadership and stories are an inspiration for us all.
