Elizabeth Leiba

Founder, The Center for Black Women, Work, and Power

I lead a research-driven initiative examining labor, leadership, and institutional accountability at a critical inflection point in the American workforce.

My work focuses on how Black women experience power inside organizations, how institutions respond to economic and cultural disruption, and how leadership norms, policy decisions, and workplace structures shape outcomes over time. I approach these questions through long-form research, narrative analysis, and applied inquiry grounded in lived professional experience.

I have published multiple books that function as field-based research, documenting patterns in voice, silence, leadership evaluation, and institutional behavior across corporate, educational, and policy-adjacent environments. These works serve as qualitative evidence informing my ongoing analysis of workplace systems rather than as prescriptive or self-help material.

The Center for Black Women, Work, and Power provides a formal home for this body of work, supporting sustained scholarship, public-facing analysis, and institutional engagement. It is intentionally structured as a lightweight research entity to preserve independence, rigor, and publication focus.

I am currently engaged in research, writing, and advisory work related to workforce transformation, leadership dynamics, and organizational accountability.

Podcast Host

Host of Black Power Moves, a weekly deep dive podcast that is part of the Ebony Covering Black America Podcast Network. Episodes inform about Black culture, empowerment, entrepreneurship, and history.  

The podcast format exemplifies a casual, get-to-know-you conversation, rather than an interview. This  expresses the mission and goals, which are simply to amplify the voices of Black people across the Diaspora.

To that end, there are no prepared questions, to recreate the tradition of oral storytelling through a historical African lens. Guests tell their own stories in a way that feels comfortable and natural, with the host guiding the conversation in the framework of an authentic, culturally sensitive and relevant narrative that has a goal to amplify Black voices and inspire, educate and motivate listeners. 

Guests include Black tech leaders, college presidents, community leaders, trail blazing business and social entrepreneurs, educators, and cultural icons.

Notable Guests Include: 
- Qaadirah Abdur-Rahim, the City of Atlanta’s Chief Equity Officer

LinkedIn is a naughty landlord.
It determines how far your posts travel. It decides when to kick you out. And for most attorneys, it is a massive time-sink that doesn't pay rent.

You came here to diversify. You've seen the CPC for Local Service Ads skyrocketing because you’re competing with BigLaw and private equity firms. Or maybe you’re just starting out and thought LinkedIn was the "low cost" alternative.

But your posts are crawling. Even when you rack up manageable views, you aren’t getting cases. It feels like a pastime where colleagues just trade humble brags while you pay for it in wasted time.

What if I told you I am the tenant who learned how to own the building?

In 2021, I joined this platform as a 16-year-old creative writer. By 19, I built an organic audience of 75,000 followers. Then, I stepped away for three years.

That break taught me the truth:

-Posting alone does not bring the cash.
-Outreach alone is a trap (and you're bound by Bar regulations anyway).
-LinkedIn holds the cards, and we are just pencils in their hands.

So, I used my background in sales, data analysis, and legal marketing to find the only solution that actually scales a law firm. I call it the Science of Intentional Visibility.

The Strategy:

1. Trigger-Based Mapping: I use local public data to find the exact situations your ideal clients are in. I match them with professionals in close proximity before, during, and after the event.

2. Intentional Network Curation: We don't post into the void. I intentionally curate your network to include the specific people identified in the mapping phase. We ensure the right eyeballs are locked on your profile before we ever hit "Post."

3. The Co-Written Story: We co-write your expertise so you look like the authority you are, not another "visionary" bot. This validates you to the network we just built.

4. The Exit Strategy: We use that LinkedIn traffic to build a platform you actually own. If every social media site shuts down tomorrow, you still have a running law firm and a direct line to your audience.

How do we work together?

DM me "SET" or email me at lucyaya@boundlessdigitalservices.com. I'll take it up from there.
