Leslye Renee Kornegay, EdD, rose from being a housekeeper to a director to a doctor of education. Through those years, several platforms emerged that gave other voices for Black women across all professional genres to speak up about the "-isms," work and life struggles, and challenges and barriers in the workplace. The rise of Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, podcasts, YouTube, blogs, and private TV digital stations opened up a wealth of Black women's experiences that were not accessible before. Dr. Kornegay realizes she was never alone in her experiences as a Black woman in the South. Still, she understood that Black women's voices were not as prevalent in the literature and social media today in both peer and non-peer contexts.

 

Dr. Kornegay hopes that her book Leading to Change the World can be used as a foundational piece to aid other Black women in their journeys. Although her focus and research have been on Black women in leadership, specifically in primarily white institutions (PWIs), she believes this book serves as a resource for anyone working with Black women in any professional capacity.

Dr. Kornegay founded her nonprofit to support Wellness, Finance, Education, and Community support in the African American Community.

Dr. Kornegay is available for workshops, consulting, and coaching.
