How Neurodivergent Women Lead Through Radical Acceptance
In this episode, masking, ADHD, neurodivergent identity, and radical acceptance take center stage as Ammara Wood shares her story of unlearning and rediscovery. She opens up about the years spent hiding her true self to survive in systems that were never built for her, and the liberation that came from choosing authenticity over approval. Through her lens as a late-diagnosed Black woman with ADHD, Ammara explores how neurodivergent women can reclaim their power by embracing self-awareness and self-compassion.
Rohene Bouajram and Ammara Wood unpack what it means to “cross the line” from silence to radical self-acceptance and how that act becomes a form of leadership. There is an emotional toll of masking, courage required to stop, and organizational shifts needed to create inclusive workplaces.
This episode is a raw, healing dialogue about identity, resilience, and the freedom that follows when we stop performing and start leading from who we truly are.
