Our Approach
We use our Collaborative Change Lens to shift power dynamics, focus on building networks, and amplify love as a force for social change. Collaborative transformation requires challenging the underlying drivers of inequity to fundamentally change unjust situations. Here are our design principles:
- We involve your team and co-design the work.
- We focus on organizational change while holding space for individual change and commitment-building.
- We focus on internal change (within your organization or network), as well as the work you do in the world.
- We assign multiracial consulting and training teams.
- We focus on the unique roles and identities of Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, as well as white participants, in driving change.
- We design workshops and meetings that engage hearts and minds, enable access and authentic participation, and lead to meaningful outcomes.

FAQ
Each of our four core services is tailored to different needs: setting strategic direction, facilitating high-stakes conversations, supporting leadership and culture change, and strengthening networks. If you’re unsure, we’ll start with a free Discovery Call to learn about your context and co-design the right approach.
We partner with a wide range of organizations – nonprofits, foundations, grassroots networks, coalitions, and mission-driven for-profits. Our services are designed to adapt to different structures, from small community-based organizations to academic institutions and large national networks.
We combine decades of experience in group facilitation, leadership development, collaboration, and network building with a focus on racial justice, equity, and collective resilience. Our work is relational and participatory. We don’t just deliver a plan; we build the conditions for collaboration, alignment, and lasting change. In addition, we are known for providing hands-on, everyday tools to address your challenges.
Equity is woven into everything we do. We center racial justice in strategy, design, and facilitation, and help organizations build cultures of inclusion across all dimensions, shared power, and collective care. Whether through leadership practices, network design, or strategic direction-setting, we guide clients in making equity a lived practice, not just a statement. We help organizations and networks stand firm while working toward their justice and equity outcomes. We offer concrete tools and processes for equity that you can use long after our work with you has concluded.

This includes training on network principles and strategy, building shared values, aligning strategies, and helping to create and sustain network structures and leadership. We can design and facilitate communities of practice and other peer learning settings, as well as cohorts for network leaders.

Yes. Every engagement is co-designed to reflect your organization or network’s context, needs, and goals. Add-on services like leadership coaching, team retreats, or workshops can be bundled to deepen the impact.
The first step is a conversation! During an initial Discovery Call (45-60 minutes), we’ll listen to your needs and share more about our approach. Then, we’ll draft a proposed scope of work to address your challenges and opportunities, with a timeline and the cost of services. Once we share the proposed scope of work, we’ll schedule a follow-up meeting (a week or two later) to discuss any questions, concerns, or adjustments together and agree on the scope of the project. We strive to keep the process clear, collaborative, and responsive.
