Rashida Saunders is an author, speaker, leadership strategist, and law enforcement professional whose work explores the hidden cost of always being the strong one.
With nearly two decades of experience in public service and community engagement, Rashida writes at the intersection of leadership, identity, motherhood, emotional wellness, and the experiences we carry but rarely name.
Her debut memoir, Permission to Break: A Memoir of Strength, Silence, and Softness, examines what happens when the qualities that help us survive begin keeping us from fully living. Through her own experiences with silence, grief, service, motherhood, faith, and healing, Rashida invites readers to reconsider what strength really requires of us.
She is also the author of the companion Permission to Break Workbook: A Guided Journey of Reflection, Release, and Softness, which moves the conversation from her story to the reader's own.
Rashida is the founder of Black Ember Press and host of Compassion Over Silence, a podcast exploring leadership, humanity, and the conversations we too often leave unspoken.
At the heart of her work is a simple belief:
We don't have to stop being strong. We can stop believing strength requires us to carry everything alone.
