The Executive Fortress
Strategic Career Defense
Special Guest: Marjorie Mesidor, Esq.
In 2026, loving yourself as a Black woman executive means protecting what you’ve built.
As DEI initiatives are quietly dismantled, AI reshapes performance and promotion decisions, and leadership roles increasingly place Black women on the “glass cliff,” career success without protection is no longer enough.
The Executive Fortress is an executive-level legal strategy session designed for Black women leaders who understand that their careers are high-value assets—and deserve to be defended accordingly.
Led by employment attorney and strategist Marjorie Mesidor, this session moves beyond surface-level advice to offer real, tactical guidance on how to safeguard your role, reputation, and legacy across every phase of executive life—from negotiation and performance management to exit strategy.
Participants will explore:
How to negotiate executive contracts that anticipate AI-driven restructuring and leadership risk
Strategies for creating an unassailable paper trail in increasingly algorithm-driven workplaces
How to protect yourself amid DEI rollbacks and “reverse discrimination” scrutiny
What a clean, strategic exit looks like—and how to secure one without reputational harm
This is not about leaning in.
It’s about locking it down.
Black Love, expressed as career protection.
