⚠️ Did you know studies show that the presence of a Senior DEI Manager or Chief Diversity Officer is directly correlated to WORSE DEI scores than organizations who do not have a Chief Diversity Officer? ⚠️
As you can imagine my clients are always shocked after our initial meeting where I explain why their current DEI and HR methodology is ineffective…
You see after 15 years of corporate HR & DEI experience, an M.A. in Critical Race Theory, and being hired by clients like Dennys Restaurants, the Oregon Department of Education, & Portland State University I can finally explain to my clients why the majority of corporate DEI training programs are failing leadership expectations.
So what is the underlying problem with the state of DEI training?
DEI training is rooted in what I call the American Domination Society era.
You see, in this nation's saga, two societal structures contend - Partnership and Domination systems. This dichotomy births DEI training, racism, misogyny, and a history marred by conquest.
The truth is you can hire anyone on Upwork with great DEI case studies just like me to help you foster diversity, equity, and inclusion in your organization but at the end of the day, my clients hire me for one reason...
My ability to empower leaders to LISTEN and LEAD staff from a place of fear to personal agency and power among BIPOC and female staff.
The current truth for all leaders is that your staff needs you more than ever right now…
My clients trust me to help them craft impactful DEI programs from a restorative, BIPOC-first lens because they know I have the experience required to challenge our dominative culture, often unintentionally reinforced through corporate programs and systems often created by problematic thought leadership norms.

So Should We Work Together?
We are not a good fit if the following are true:
1. If you are interviewing 10 other DEI consultants this week and plan to hire your consultant 6 months from now.
2. If you are not a decision-maker at your org.
3. If you do not see color.
4. If you refuse to believe your BIPOC and female staff
5. If you refuse to allocate budget to your DEI goals
What makes a good match for me?
We are a good fit if the following are true:
1. If you have a DEI goal and existing programs
2. If you are a decision-maker at your org.
3. If you want more engagement in your DEI programs
4. If you are coachable
5. If you already have allocated a budget to your DEI goals
Feel free to send me an invite for your project today, and let's discuss the ways we can create a future where DEI training is no longer a band-aid solution but an earnest component of partnership and true collaboration.
