Friends, clients + media:
 
When families can’t afford food, food banks step in. Most people don't groan that those meals are a “special perk” since they're clearly a response to an unfair reality/moment. 
 
The same goes for DEI. DEI isn’t about ‘special perks’—it’s about removing barriers that have kept talented people from opportunities for generations. (Just Google ‘workplace bias’ for examples.) 
 
Programs like women’s mentoring and Black recruiting events, for example, don’t create unfair advantages—they help ensure women, who are often under-mentored (at best), receive the same guidance as their peers, and that Black professionals, who are often under-recruited (to say the least), have equal access to opportunities.
 
So in cancelling DEI, companies like Accenture and Amazon are returning to a world where top roles, higher pay, and opportunities are largely out of reach for many qualified people. 
 
 
Given the current maligning of DEI: I’ve updated how I describe my work. 
 
My (DEI) consulting re-reframe: I help companies create workplaces where every voice drives success by using data to identify overlooked talent—often women, LGBTQIA+ folks, BIPOC employees, and those who are older, disabled, or neurodiverse—and addressing the barriers they face.
 
Let me be clear: I’m on this planet to make sure every human thrives—especially those who are targeted, underserved and/or overlooked. That will never change. Sorry, not sorry.
 
👇 Below, I share my current faves for creating a fair + inclusive future (hell yes!), getting grounded and in pleasure (and without burnout), and directing our energy where it’s needed most (at supports for the most vulnerable).
 
In solidarity,

This is even worse if what we're staring at is stressful news:

My new in person, year-long in person club sold out in 48 hours :))) The first session (pic below) was such a nourishing experience (feminist deep connection brunch + a dreamy NorCal beach wander). 
 
If you're thinking about launching your own club/community, this is your SIGN: it's needed!

If you work in a startup or mid-size company or team: 
Wild but true: hiring me is “pay what you can.”  
 
Here's how:
  • When companies have a $55K budget, I’m their hands-on advisor for a period of time, advising various leaders and multiple teams to uncover where key groups aren't faring as well + others - and hands-on doing something about it. 
  • When an org has $800, we do a high-impact, one-hour strategy session—and you leave better understanding how to fix your challenges (or tweak your DEI) to move forward in this new era.
Every budget, I make it happen. How it works: If you’re called to navigate this era with expert support, message me. In a free call, we will talk frankly about your budget, and I’ll share candidly exactly what I can deliver for that amount. BOOM. Win-win. Just reply. :)
