Guiding Lines

Leading the way in what matters

We support and strengthen multicultural women to rise in leadership and leave a legacy.

We commit to:

  • As our country grows more diverse, the leadership pipeline naturally reflects that shift. Rising Legacy equips multicultural women with leadership skills that empower your unique legacies and equip you to thrive in any industry. 

  • Your leadership starts with knowing your voice and owning your vision. We help you sharpen your purpose, advocate for your growth, and lead with the kind of confidence and impact that shapes industries and paves the way for the next generation of leaders.

  • As a multicultural woman, you bring a distinct blend of insight, resilience, and cultural fluency to the table and that’s not a gap to close. It’s a strength to honor! Rising Legacy celebrates the unique background you carry, the leadership you embody, and the future you’re shaping.

  • No one rises alone. Rising Legacy offers a supportive network where multicultural women can challenge, celebrate, and champion each other. We create spaces for you to share experiences, exchange insights, and get feedback that leads to long-term career growth.

  • We believe leadership development should be accessible to everyone, no matter your schedule or stage of life. We provide micro-learning, mentoring, and interactive workshops that meet you where you are in ways that are practical, personal, and easy to apply throughout your leadership journey.

Q:

“Marisa, what’s missing in leadership training for multicultural women?”

A:

Leadership isn’t one-size-fits-all, yet so much of leadership training is built around frameworks that were never designed with multicultural women in mind. Traditional leadership models often assume a level playing field, but the reality is that women of color navigate different barriers – whether the biases we navigate, the cultural expectations we balance, or the unique strengths we bring to the table.

As a multicultural woman myself, I know firsthand how the journey looks different for us, and I’m passionate about helping women advocate for themselves and create a powerful leadership legacy that inspires and paves the way for the next generation.
