Statement of Commitment

 

Systems Oriented Consultation

As a professional facilitator and equity consultant, it is my mission to support communities and organizations as they integrate anti-oppressive practices into their organizational culture and client services.

I employ a collaborative approach when designing the organizational research and implementation process, inviting all members of the community or organization to serve as a resources in determining the most effective path forward for a given community.

I employ a problem-solving, systems oriented consultation approach wherein the organization is the client for which agency leaders, employees, and the consultant use their collective strengths and knowledge to improve the delivery of services as aligned with anti-oppressive strategies.

Within the consultation exchange, all training, workshops, coaching, etc. are centered on the collaborative nature of the relationship in order to help individuals and collective agencies integrate anti-oppressive practices into their work.


Racial Justice

Racial justice is a highly pertinent topics of our time and requires a commitment from people of privileged identities, such as myself, to awaken to their role in addressing the social and political inequities of the 21st Century.

I am committed to the path of racial justice and the vibrant, edgy, and uncomfortable nature of addressing white privilege.

I invite others who benefit from a system of racial inequity to acknowledge your position of power and embrace both the discomfort and attunement invoked when we collectively address the injustices that exist in our society today.


Trans Liberation

Western society perpetuates the expectations of gender that are placed upon each of us as determined by our assignment at birth. These expectations shape not only how we individually interact with the world but also how the world interacts with each of us. This could not be more true and dangerous a fact than it is for transgender and nonbinary lives today.

I am committed to centering the experiences and needs of transgender and nonbinary people as a means to lead organizations and communities towards embracing an open and inclusive concept of gender.

Collectives who choose to support trans liberation not only enact practices and policies that lift up trans and nonbinary people, they embody liberation from the narrow and harmful narratives of gender as a construct.
