Lead with Confidence: Suhaiba Neill on Owning Your Path

Do you ever wonder what it really means to be a leader in a world that often overlooks your voice? In this episode of Campus Chronicles, I sit down with Suhaiba Neill, the dynamic founder of Like a Girl, an initiative focused on empowering young women to embrace their strength and lead with authenticity. Suhaiba’s journey—from managing a basketball team to navigating male-dominated industries—provides a unique perspective on leadership and resilience.

We explore her experiences of growing up with brothers, working with the Philadelphia 76ers, and taking on leadership roles in spaces where she was often the only woman. Suhaiba shares powerful insights on how reframing the narrative around gender and leadership can empower young women to thrive, whether in sports, business, or life.

Suhaiba shares practical advice for students to embrace authenticity, take risks, and find strength in their uniqueness. With wisdom drawn from her own life and her book, Suhaiba encourages young women to own their identities and navigate college life with confidence.
