As a diversity and inclusion consultant providing workshop development, training, and facilitation services, I believe that expanding one’s knowledge of unconscious bias as a way to learn the importance of cultural competency is the first step to fostering an inclusive workplace. I work with both professionals and individuals (on a personal level) to develop materials that center culturally competent programming.

Resolution Life Coaching
As a woman of color I grew tired of feeling stuck and being forced by society to downplay my worth and knowledge. I quickly discovered a chasm between the number of safe spaces that would nurture and grow people of color. I sought to create that space where BIPOC can feel supported, be themselves while addressing the stressors disproportionately experienced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
