Jenny Vazquez-Newsum

Jenny Vazquez-Newsum, Ed.D. is a leadership facilitator and writer with a long-time interest in leadership stemming all the way back to being a 5th grade elementary school elected official. As a biracial Black/Latinx woman, the leadership journey has been bumpy, invigorating, challenging, and a life's work. As a former Vice President of Leadership Training and Programs at Coro Southern California, Jenny has worked with leaders from 200+ organizations ranging from established executives at large corporations to early career professionals beginning their leadership journeys -- witnessing the untapped capacities that exist across all stages in career paths. Interested in digging deeper into the limitations of current leadership rhetoric and bringing in the voices of the often-unrecognized leadership contributions of marginalized leaders, Jenny launched Untapped Leaders to create a space for those contributions to be named, validated, and amplified. Jenny holds a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Southern California, an M.P.A from New York University, and an Ed.D from the University of California - Los Angeles. In the Untapped Leadership biweekly newsletter, you can expect a simple, yet powerful exploration of untapped leadership capacities from overlooked perspectives by offering... something to W R I T E, something to W O N D E R, and something to W I T N E S S.
