Diverse Representation and Leadership with Former Senator Mona Das
By Darla LeDoux, Founder of Sourced™ and Author of the books Shift The Field and Retreat and Grow Rich

In this episode of Activating Magic, we tackle the often overlooked barriers of representation and authenticity in leadership with trailblazing Former Washington State Senator Mona Das. Despite the corporate limitations and societal expectations that stifle many, Mona shares how she overcame these challenges to become a pioneering leader. Discover how her small, intentional practices bring magic into her life and why seeing someone like herself in a position of power ignited her ambitions. By tuning in, you’ll gain insights on harnessing your inner strength, embracing your unique gifts, and inspiring the next generation of leaders. Join us for an empowering conversation that challenges the status quo and encourages you to step into your own power.

Here’s a taste of what we covered:

• • Why representation in leadership is crucial for inspiring future generations.
  • How to use small, intentional practices to create daily magic.
  • The one thing that will spark your ambition to lead.
  • About overcoming corporate limitations to find your true calling.
  • How authenticity can transform your personal and professional life.
  • Why thanking spaces you occupy can enhance your nomadic lifestyle.
  • The importance of seeing role models who reflect your identity.

Mona Das is a powerful force for environmental justice, racial equity, housing affordability, and economic fairness in Washington. Born to Indian parents who immigrated to the United States when she was 8 months old and only six dollars in their pockets, Das’s lived experience drives her to dismantle barriers for marginalized people in every aspect of her work and life. Driven by a strong public service ethic and desire to create an equitable and sustainable society, Das ran for State Senate in 2018, and against all odds, WON!

Through her successful campaign and election for Washington State Senate, Mona Das experienced first-hand what it’s like to be a marginalized voice shouting to be heard in the echo-chamber of the traditional, political elite. Along her journey, she met a handful of other courageous BIPOC women who, like her, were challenging the status quo. Thus in 2022, she decided not to run for office as she felt called to create greater change from outside of the system. Bad Ass Women Doing Kick Ass Shit (BAWDKAS) was born as a coming together of these women to share their unique, but similar, narratives. The film has won numerous awards including two Telly Awards, an Impact Docs Award, and an award from the Accolade Global Film Competition.

Mona has a bachelor’s degree in psychology, an MBA in sustainable business and attended the Women’s Campaign School at Yale University. For the last 20 years, she has owned and operated MOXY Money LLC, which consults on fundraising techniques, regardless of whether you’re a non-profit, first time candidate or experienced elected official.

As a Washington State Senator, Das was a leader in environmental policy, affordable housing, community building, and equitable representation movements. One of her biggest successes during her term as State Senator was championing and passing Senate Bill 5022, which bans the manufacture, sale and distribution of certain expanded polystyrene products and single-use plastics in Washington state. Not surprisingly, Das loves spending time outdoors and traveling, having visited 37 countries. Most of all, she is a proud auntie to two nephews.
