In this episode, we see what’s Behind the Magic of powerhouse Anneshia Hardy—narrative strategist, movement builder, and truth-teller from Montgomery, Alabama. From her days navigating the overwhelmingly white world of finance to becoming the founding executive director of Alabama Values and Alabama Values Progress and co-founder of Blackyard LLC, Anneshia has lived the tension between brilliance and bias—and chose to turn her story into fuel for liberation.
We talk about the blueprint her mother gave her, what it means to name and resist harmful narratives, and how she’s using storytelling as both a survival strategy and a tool for reimagining democracy. This conversation is real, layered, and full of wisdom about leadership, resilience, and why Black women’s stories are sacred.
If you’ve ever struggled with carrying the weight of being “the only” in the room, or wondered how to protect your joy while pushing for change, this one will feed your spirit.
