beyond diversity
We empower compassionate and progressive leaders with tools to create and nurture equitable and inclusive cultures.
Our solutions-based approach is to "call-in" leaders to realize their full potential to engage partners, members, stakeholders and staff of underrepresented identities, particularly gender diverse and racialized peoples.
Providing an intersectional, anti-oppression perspective and approach to our work, we educate, empower and collaborate with leadership teams to implement policy, create strategic planning, and help to nurture growth and healthy, inclusive practices.

What Our Clients Say
Jill W.
Eastside Studios
Naomi was extremely helpful in examining our current processes, discussing how they were lacking, and key ways to make improvements. This was our first time hiring an inclusion consultant and the the benefits from our meetings exceeded any expectations. We will definitely maintain an ongoing working relationship with EUPHONY
Brenda Leadlay
Executive Director
BC Alliance for Arts & Culture
In (Naomi’s) work as an equity/inclusion consultant, she uncovers the hidden aspects
of discrimination inherent in the colonial systems that pervade our lives and our
workplaces. Her intelligent and inclusive approach to cultural competence auditing
manifests in a deeper understanding of how anti-racism practices can make our
organizations more equitable and sustainable.

Naomi elevated the conversation beyond the basics to facilitate a higher-level understanding of how systems of oppression operate, and created space for participants to meaningfully confront those realities, including the ways we ourselves perpetuate them. But also illuminated immediately applicable strategies to leverage ourselves and our organizations in service of justice and equity.
