I am passionate about supporting people and organizations to increase their capacity to communicate, cooperate, and lead across difference. Growing up Black and middle class in Berkeley, California provided me a foundational intersection that early on sparked questions of race, belonging, diversity, leadership, equity, and solidarity–questions that I have been pursuing ever since.

I began working in diversity education when I was 16, and co-founded my first business the next year—for more than two decades, I have facilitated conversations about issues of difference and worked to build and optimize equitable organizational structures.

My practice is informed by compassionate curiosity, a growth model of learning, and an intergenerational understanding of change making.
