Women in Leadership: Removing the Mask Dr. Yulanda Harris, Ed.D, CNP In Women in Leadership: Removing the Mask, Dr. Harris shares her deeply personal and unconventional journey to purpose as a neurodivergent Black woman. For years, her path was misunderstood as "job hopping" or defiance, until a late-in-life diagnosis of Asperger's (Autism Spectrum Disorder) reframed her story as one of resilience, adaptability, and divine purpose. Through raw honesty, spiritual reflection, and hard-earned wisdom, Dr. Harris reveals what it means to lead authentically in a world that often demands conformity. Her story is a powerful reminder that our uniqueness is not a weakness-it is our greatest strength, and a gift to be embraced. This inspiring contribution to the Women in Leadership series speaks to every woman who has ever felt out of step with the world, offering hope, healing, and the courage to lead unapologetically.
