Teuila Reid, General Manager of Helping Hoops, advocates for a leadership style centred on empathy and intersectionality. Reid challenges conventional power structures by prioritising the needs of the most marginalised communities. Her leadership approach encourages leaders to engage in meaningful dialogue and make inclusive decisions that reflect the diverse realities of those they serve.

“Intersectionality to me is the structure of power and how power influences how we see ourselves, and therefore the decisions we make on how we live.”
