In this continuation of Episode 9 of Girl, We Need to Talk Now, we go beyond the data and dive into the unspoken heartbreak of education: the betrayal that happens from within.

In The Silent Sabotage, host Cat Winningcircle is joined by a powerful guest to unpack what happens when leadership — especially from those who look like us — becomes the very barrier to our growth.

“Sometimes it’s not the system pushing us out. It’s the gatekeepers protecting their seat at the table.”

This episode tackles:

Intra-racial harm in school leadership

The pain of being undermined by women of color in power

Quiet retaliation: micromanagement, exclusion, and stolen opportunities

Why brilliance is often met with fear instead of mentorship

A direct message for leaders leading from ego, not equity

If you’ve ever felt silenced by someone who was supposed to lift you up — this one’s for you.
