Welcome to the first episode of our "Women in Architecture" series, where this year's theme is Collaboration. In this episode Katerina is joined by Janiece Williams, co-founder of Leader Flow, a nonprofit that empowers professionals through leadership programs. Janiece shares her journey into architecture, her experiences with imposter syndrome, feeling disconnected during school, and how her classmates helped her push through those tough years.

Janiece also opens up about the moment she took a step back after school to rethink why she was pursuing architecture, focusing instead on the business side of the profession. She discusses how she found her strengths, the opportunities that unfolded, and how a leadership program allowed her to combine her personal and architectural background. Together, Katerina and Janiece dive into the importance of stepping back to focus on what you truly want, rather than what's expected of you.

Finally, Janiece shares what it was like co-founding Leader Flow and the incredible work they do, from their leadership programs to empowering professionals to collaborate and lead in small, connected cohorts across different cities. By creating these cohorts, individuals are taught how to foster long-term collaboration in the architecture industry and beyond. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation about leadership, empowerment, and community in architecture!
