Sierra Speaks at BECOME Women’s Summit

Mosaic Project executive director discusses importance of leading with inclusion

Suzanne Sierra, executive director of the St. Louis Mosaic project, was recently a featured speaker at the BECOME Women’s Summit, hosted by Little Black Book. The BECOME Women’s Summit, held at the Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel, was a two-day event focused on helping women in business, leadership and entrepreneurship.

During her presentation, Leading with Inclusion, Sierra shared how widening the circle of who gets to contribute can increase the range of ideas, perspectives and solutions. When people lead with inclusion, they question assumptions, invite new perspectives and think bigger. Also, inclusion isn’t about doing the right thing, it’s about building the smartest room.

The annual BECOME Women’s Summit offers networking, professional development and strategic assistance for women looking to elevate their careers and create change in their professional lives.

The 2026 St. Louis event occurred on March 12 and 13. Members of St. Louis Economic Development Partnership’s Community Investment division were in attendance.
