Making Change
The time for change is now, and change starts with you, in your home and in your community. Understanding what anti-Black racism is, how it manifests, and how your employees and teams or community members can begin a journey to change is where we come in. Then, we are here to continue to guide your transition to action along the learning journey. Sessions are being provided VIRTUALLY, except by special arrangement. Since 2020, our many clients have told us how valuable our sessions and ongoing coaching have been in guiding them along their organizational learning journey to inclusion. Here’s what they’re saying about our work:
