The Circle
Why The Circle?
Are you tired of being the only one in the room navigating microaggressions, managing others’ discomfort and shrinking your voice just to be accepted?
Do you find yourself working twice as hard, constantly having to prove yourself, delivering excellence without recognition?
Do you often stay quiet and not take up too much space?
If any of this resonates, you’re not alone.
Being the only woman of colour in a leadership space can mean your mistakes are magnified, while your achievements are minimised. You’re visible when things go wrong, invisible when opportunities arise. Always aware, always calculating; wondering how do I show up fully, without being penalised for it?
When psychological safety is missing, confidence can falter. The constant pressure to perform without flaw, to manage perceptions, and to earn your place again and again leads to burnout, self-doubt and isolation.
You are confident. You are assertive. You are highly skilled, passionate, and often the expert in the room.
But the unspoken demand to code-switch, to over-perform, to constantly prove your worth is exhausting.
You deserve more than survival.
You deserve to walk into every space with power – respected, honoured, and seen for your full brilliance.
This Circle is where you reclaim your leadership with clarity, courage, and community.
No code-switching. No masking. Just powerful, authentic growth among women who get it.
Step into a space crafted exclusively for Women of Colour in leadership.
This is your space to thrive on your terms.
The Ladies Behind The Circle
It was a professional connection at first sight! Agatha and Dorinda met on 24 November 2022 and clicked instantly – two Women of Colour with different backgrounds but a shared fire for a holistic balance of impact, integrity and self-care.
Our collaboration grew quickly, fuelled by mutual respect and a deep belief in our shared vision. Soon after, we co-hosted our first retreat for Women of Colour and it was a beautiful success.
That retreat planted the seed. The Circle is what blossomed.
We didn’t create The Circle because we had all the answers; we created it because we know exactly what it feels like to carry the questions.
We’ve lived it. We’ve worn the masks. We’ve carried the very pressures we now help Women of Colour navigate; not as distant observers, but as women who’ve lived it ourselves.
And over the years, we’ve spoken to so many other Women of Colour with different stories but identical themes. The same challenges, the same silence, the same weight.
We can’t change the whole world overnight, but we can change how we show up in it.
And we can create spaces where healing, growth, and power are not optional they’re the norm.
We created The Circle because we are the women we’re speaking to.
We needed this space. We wished for it. And now, we’ve built it for us, and for you.
