Eps 003: Is She a B**ch for Standing Up For Herself? With Joni Wickham

How do co-workers react when you stand up for yourself to a harasser? That's one of the many things we touched on in this wide-ranging interview with Joni Wickham...

She is all about grit, grace, and getting things done, and has proved herself to be an accomplished political strategist, communications expert, and organisational leader.

Joni, an attractive woman who grew up in a trailer park in rural North Carolina, has been frequently underestimated throughout her 20-year political career—considered too nice by some and too aggressive by others.

She most recently served as Chief of Staff to Mayor Sly James in Kansas City, and has authored a new book titled 'The Thin Line Between Cupcake and Bitch' – written to help women navigate their careers.

Joni is now co-founder of public policy firm Wickham James, which she founded with Mayor James in 2019.
