Ditto to what Deborah Bailey said. Elizabeth i SOOOOOO appreciate you taking a stand. As a Black woman coach looking for support and inspiration from leaders in the field, it means so much to see that moments like this are being addressed and not just swept under the rug. Thank you so much for this message.

I too had no idea this had happened until your post. Like Brenda, I HAD received an email about the LIGHTER launch, and had found it off-putting, so didn’t go on to see the offending images/words either. In the name of love and justice, we have to wake up to our unconscious biases. As an influencer myself (small range though it is), I’ve got work to do – on myself. So thank you, Elizabeth.

This is why you’re one of my mentors. Lighter did not appeal to me when I saw it in an email I got from Danielle (maybe this is why) so I just ignored it and didn’t see the offensive images or words. It makes me cringe reading an article that shows some of the now-deleted images. I’ve been practicing Danielle Laporte’s Desire Map teachings for a few years now, because I was proud that she’s Canadian and so fresh a voice in the industry, so this really is shocking to me, as an indigenous/Irish/Scottish Canadian woman. We as a society have a long way to go and yes, it seems there are a ton of people of privilege with blinders on – in the personal growth/transformational/spiritual industry – and the community.

I applaud you and appreciate you. I am a Latina and think that we as woman of all colors and different cultures should always support and empower each other. I personally love all colors and love all cultures. In the end we are the same. We have a heart that beats and loves. That’s what we should spread our love, respect and kindness. We should always work to better ourselves. That’s what we all seek to do become better independent women and own are feminine power. My love and respect.

Just such a shame that people in that position aren’t willing to work through their stuff…unbelievable really..how can you be a transformational leader if you don’t!!!!!i and I’m,very surprised that it goes on with people in that position. Surely they should be past these sort of issues. It’s a matter of consciousness…and that only changes when you do the inner work. We are all equal, all One from the One Source. Maybe I’m being too harsh, we learn as we go but I do find this incredulous. I am willing to be open to learn something

But I’m reading about it now. You are one of 2 transformational leaders I follow who have spoken about inclusivity. I thank you for your vulnerability, your truth and your desire to include all of us. There is work to be done, but we can do it as long as we are ready to deal with the hard conversations and support each other.

Damn. You nailed this.
I was finding resistance to emerging as a transformational leader because I had a lot of fear around the “Rich White Women” conversation. This brave and vulnerable and strong testament is such a template for positive change in these spheres. Thank you for your inspiration and leadership.
