Blueprint to interrupt burnout culture and lead with sustainability and intention.

Too often, Black women are celebrated for how much they carry instead of supported for how much they need. This deeply affirming session challenges the cultural norms and unspoken rules that push Black women to sacrifice their health and emotional well-being in the name of resilience. Montina shares a liberating vision for leadership that centers restoration, alignment, and care—because legacy deserves rest, too.

Parentification and adultification are silent burdens carried by far too many—especially Black children who are forced to grow up too soon. In this eye-opening session, Montina unpacks the emotional, relational, and psychological impact of early caregiving roles and racialized maturity bias.

With clarity and compassion, she walks audiences through the different types of parentification, how adultification bias uniquely impacts Black youth, and a 4-step framework for healing. Participants leave with deeper insight into how early role reversals affect adult identity—and what it takes to interrupt the cycle.
