“A brilliant thinker, writer, and facilitative leader who has created an amazing framework for understanding and decentering whiteness and dominant cultural norms, pulling together rich source materials that connect past with present and personal with political in a way that few people can.”
— JJR, health nonprofit exec
I find that organizations with strong internal communications and cultures of respect, inclusion, and belonging accomplish their missions more effectively. When everybody's aligned, the work is focused and impactful. You don't squander emotional and physical labor or money on the wrong kind of learning — or being.
I am the author of Our Brave Foremothers: Celebrating 100 Black, Brown, Asian, and Indigenous Women Who Changed the Course of History (Workman/Hachette, 2023).
I am also the founder of Brave Sis Project, which offers history, learning, awareness, and sisterhood for BIPOC women and their friends.
With leadership experience spanning community and performing arts, global impact and humanitarianism, strategic advisory, DEI, and fundraising, I am a thought leader and trusted adviser to individuals and organizations from the local to global.

My work engaging with individuals and groups incorporates history and storytelling with sensitivity training; explorations into power-shifting and implicit bias; program design; brave space co-creation, reflection, and celebration, helping you grow into leadership and collaboration that is more authentic, empathic, knowing, and sustainable.

Relationship building and co-creating are the joy of life. I look forward to being in touch.
