We are a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Justice Consultancy providing collaborative advisory services in the arts & cultural sector and beyond…

To us, Diversity means being rooted in our collective vibrant cultures, self-identities, and intergenerational relationships.

To us, Equity means actively seeking and giving to each other compassionate treatment, access, and opportunities, while seeking a deeper understanding of what makes us whole.

To us, Inclusion means connecting to our shared humanity where everyone can find belonging and care.

We believe Justice is essential to our collective human story and to our ability to move towards an antiracist future.

Our Focus

  • Human Centered Approach

    Where individuals are encouraged to tell their stories, own them, and consider how they impact each other and their wider communities

  • Art as Transformative Social Justice

    Diverse arts expressions and cultural experiences rooted in DEIJ is critical if we wish to be abolitionists from the structures of white supremacy and intergenerational trauma. We believe artistic expression will be our guide to justice.

  • Organizational Change Management

    We have a commitment to best practices for successfully leading strategic organizational change and fostering inclusive climates
