Slingshot Strategy: Zakiya Larry Wolfe on Rest, Reputation & the Power of the Black Woman Leader

Описание: In this profound and energizing episode of The BOW Knows Biz Podcast, host Dawn Christian sits down with Zakiya Larry Wolfe, Founder of Quest Media Group, to talk about what it really means to elevate your brand, your impact—and yourself.

Through the lens of strategic communications and reputation management, Zakiya opens up about:
• The toxic hustle culture many women unconsciously embrace
• Why “pause” doesn’t mean losing momentum—it means slingshot growth
• How mid-year reflection is essential for long-term success
• Why self-care is strategy for founders, CEOs, and creatives alike
• The identity challenges unique to Black women in leadership

She reminds us: If we’re not okay, nothing around us is. From redefining the role of rest, to unpacking personal ethos and embracing “ministry in the marketplace,” Zakiya delivers a masterclass in conscious entrepreneurship.

And in a deeply moving moment, she credits every pivotal boost in her journey to Black women—from her sorority to her sisterhood in The BOW Collective—and issues a powerful call to pour that same energy back into others.
