?? Presence is Power: Belle da Costa Greene Takes Center Stage at Harvard Book Store! ?? Walking past the Harvard Book Store and seeing ?????????? ???? ?????????? ????????????: ?? ??????????????????’?? ???????????? in the front window stopped me in my tracks. A book I contributed to—proudly displayed for all to see. As an art historian and librarian, my career is dedicated to uncovering and amplifying stories. To witness this moment is both humbling and exhilarating. Belle understood that presence is power—not just being seen but owning space, shaping narratives, and wielding influence in a world that wasn’t built for her. She didn’t just step into rooms; she commanded them. ?? Her legacy reminds us that leadership isn’t just about expertise—it’s about how you show up. How do you define your presence as a leader today? This #BlackHistoryMonth, let’s take a page from Belle’s story: Own your expertise. Claim your space. Make history. ???? Huge congratulations to Philip Palmer and Erica Ciallela for their incredible work on this volume! It was an honor to contribute an essay on Belle as a medievalist alongside Colin B. Bailey, Juliana Amorim Goskes,? Araceli Bremauntz-Enriquez, Julia S. Charles-Linen, Rhonda Evans, Daria Rose Foner, Jiemi Gap, Gail Levin, Deborah Parker, Deborah Willis, and Tamar Evangelestia-Dougherty. ?? Swipe through the photos and celebrate this moment with me! ?? Want more on Belle’s impact? In Episode 6 of Boss Like Belle, I explore how Belle’s personal branding and presence shaped her career—and how we can harness those lessons today. Listen now on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube Podcasts! ?? Join the conversation: What’s one book, exhibit, or historical figure that changed how you see leadership? Drop it in the comments! And tag a colleague who should read this book.?? #BossLikeBelle #BlackHistoryMonth #WomenEmpowerment #PersonalBranding
