Bozoma Saint John reflects on her Ghanaian roots and upbringing across Ghana, Kenya, and the United States, sharing how family history, Ghanaian traditions, language, food, and the lasting effects of colonization shaped her worldview. She discusses the importance of representing Africa on the global stage, challenging misconceptions about the continent, and using storytelling and marketing to change narratives.

Bozoma Saint John also recounts her extraordinary career journey, from arriving in New York and landing a temporary role with Spike Lee to boldly critiquing one of his scripts and turning the opportunity into a four-year career. She explains how recognizing Beyoncé’s potential before her solo breakthrough led to a game-changing Pepsi campaign that helped launch her rise as one of the most influential marketing executives in the world.

From leadership lessons at Netflix, Uber, Apple Music, iTunes, and PepsiCo to candid conversations about intuition, negotiation, confidence, and career reinvention, Bozoma Saint John shares the strategies that helped her thrive at the highest levels of business. She also offers powerful insights on women in leadership, advocating for greater self-advocacy, higher compensation, and fearless ambition.
