I am dedicated to empowering communities through a deep understanding of social justice and the histories that shape our present. I focus on bridging the gap between understanding current social justice challenges and the historical factors that have influenced these issues.My work integrates interactive workshops, facilitated dialogues, and comprehensive training programs that not only address social justice issues but also explore the historical contexts that underpin them.
By directly engaging with community members, I provide educational experiences that highlight the historical roots of current social justice issues, such as racial justice, gender equity, economic disparities, environmental justice, and health inequities. My approach fosters a holistic, intersectional understanding of these issues and supports informed advocacy and action.
Additionally, I offer training for organizational staff to enhance their ability to support their communities and organizations effectively. This dual focus ensures that both community members and staff are equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to drive meaningful change.
I have more than 10 years of experience as a diversity and social justice educator, trainer, and facilitator ranging from DEI consulting for local and national organizations to full time leadership roles in k-12 education, higher education, and nonprofits.
Using my PhD in Multicultural and Equity Studies in Education, I provide a holistic, intersectional, historically rooted approach to discussing issues such as race, gender, economic inequality, and systemic oppression. My superpower is breaking down complex concepts so that they are easily understandable for audiences of any education level.
Our community education workshops are designed to engage and empower individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to understand and address social justice issues. We provide interactive and accessible sessions tailored to the needs of grassroots organizations and community groups, fostering critical thinking and collective action.
We offer expertly facilitated dialogues that create safe and inclusive spaces for meaningful conversations about diversity, equity, and inclusion. These sessions are designed to encourage honest discussion, mutual understanding, and collaborative problem-solving, helping participants navigate complex social justice topics.
Our capacity-building services focus on enhancing the skills and knowledge of staff members within organizations. We provide customized training and development programs that equip teams with the strategies and competencies needed to effectively promote and sustain inclusive practices and social justice initiatives in their work environments.
