Leniece K. Flowers Bio (LinkedIn)
Forged in The Bronx and refined at Columbia University, I studied systems and learned to dismantle them using data and storytelling. I am now a Senior Global Program Manager at LinkedIn, published writer, board trustee, guest lecturer, angel investor, and mother of twins. With over 15 years leading work at the intersection of equity, leadership, and systems change, I've built DEI initiatives at LinkedIn, co-founded Panther Mamas—a 650+ member community of Black mothers, advised startups through Techstars, and consulted companies with ARR from $2M to $36B via Compass Talent Group. My writing has appeared in Vox, Quartz, The Plug, Psychology Today, Citi, and more; my Quartz essay was among its most-read and cited by Intel’s Chief Diversity Officer as essential. I prioritize "Truth before optics."After two decades navigating from Bronx public schools to Silicon Valley boardrooms, I've learned leadership is about courage to question and dismantle. Now, I help leaders shed inherited scripts to embrace honesty and freedom. This chapter is about calling, not climbing, to reimagine what's next. All views are my own.
