Jordan was supposed to walk into that meeting with a crisp agenda, polished slides, and a tray of wrapped snacks.

Instead, she brought a Post-it.

No handouts. No data decks. No performative rigor.

Just a new question. A new energy. A new way of seeing her role—not as the person who fills the meeting with answers, but as the leader who protects the room’s energy.

This chapter might be the most quietly radical thing Jordan’s ever done.
And it changed everything.

📖 Never miss a chapter of Jordan’s story. You can read each chapter in the First in Line section of Ruckus Makers.
