Known for her no-nonsense approach and unabashed leadership style , she shared invaluable lessons with me that helped alter how I will navigate moving forward .

you face being the 1st African American Woman to hold a Commissioner Seat ?
Ms . Butler : I had challenges however , people knew who I was , they knew I would run them over if they were in my way , even though I would be the same person to back up , put them in the car and take them to the hospital !”

That right there is what I call a true leader . Strong , Confident and Empathetic !
Welcome to the Leadership Edition 2022 , I hope this issue impacts your life like it has done for mine . n
