OUR VALUES
Our work is guided by a set of core values that serve as our compass, shaping each project and decision. These values propel us forward, ensuring we remain steadfast in our commitment to excellence and integrity.
-
Justice
All Black lives matter. As such, we know that resisting colonization and restoring broken relationships is the work we each must do, every day.
-
Trust
We can only partner and work with others when we fully trust each other. Once we have taken the time to build trust, then the sky is the limit!
-
Authenticity
We bring our whole selves to our work and create space for others to do the same.
-
Humanness
While we work ridiculously hard (!) and enjoy success in the many ways we define this, we also make time for ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities.
-
Service to community
Giving of our many resources, including our time, finances, and skills, is an important part of who we are. We thus volunteer our time and donate to causes and organizations whose missions and visions are aligned with ours.
Our Team
My name is Michelle, and I am so happy you visited our website!
Did you know that in a recent survey by Affirmity, 42% of global HR teams from companies of all sizes and industries reported that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) were not prioritized by senior leadership? 🤔
Why is that?
📉 Limited budget
🤷♂️ Lack of understanding of the benefits of investing in DEI
🧩 Insufficient in-house skills and expertise
🛑 Feeling stuck and uncertain about how to proceed
My question for you is, how can you create an equitable, just, and thriving workplace? 🌟
The same study found that organizations that excel in their DEI work share these common traits:
🌟 They rate their DEI initiatives highly, often 8, 9, or 10 out of 10!
📊 They regularly compile and analyze a variety of DEI metrics.
🎓 They host frequent professional learning sessions for staff.
🏅 They lead targeted initiatives for managers and senior leaders.
🚀 They improve their organizational performance and are more closely aligned with their mission, vision, and values.
I’ve personally recovered from workplace burnout and I understand the devastating effects of bullying, harassment, and discrimination. Toxic workplaces can make us ill. Thankfully, I had an exit plan and transitioned to working with clients to help them create healthy, happy, and thriving organizations. My mission is to build workplaces where employees feel safe and look forward to coming to work, volunteers eagerly sign up to serve, donors are enthusiastic to support, and leaders are inspired to drive positive change. 🌈
