Whether you’re making the case for organizational change or simply ready to grow now that you know better—I’ve got you covered. I’m constantly reading, listening, and gathering resources because this work is my jam, and I love sharing what I find.
I’ve done the vetting so you don’t have to: materials are accessible (screen-reader friendly, captions, transcripts), and intentionally curated from a diversity of voices and lived experiences. Unless noted, I don’t own or profit from this content—I just believe in amplifying voices too often excluded from the conversation.
