What if HR wasn't just a department, but a calling? In this riveting episode of 15 Minutes With, we sit down with Nakisha Hicks, founder of The ElevateHer, and a nationally recognized voice in HR transformation, strategy, and leadership development. With the warmth of a mentor and the sharpness of a strategist, Nakisha unpacks what it really means to build inclusive workplaces, develop next-generation leaders, and elevate voices that have long gone unheard.

She talks candidly about how burnout broke her—and why that breakdown became the breakthrough that launched her purpose-led career. From navigating hard corporate truths to walking away from a six-figure role to pursue alignment, Nakisha shares how she helps women of color not just survive HR, but thrive and lead it.
