Be a more aligned, trusted, and adaptive leader capable of leading transformation.

“If we want people to fully show up, to bring their whole selves including their unarmored, whole hearts—so that we can innovate, solve problems, and serve people—we have to be vigilant about creating a culture in which people feel safe, seen, heard, and respected.”

-Brené Brown

Design and habitualize equity. Restore trust. Aspire. Co-create. Journey and arrive together.

Colonial Toxicology

Toxicologists use various physical sciences to study the toxic effects something has on life forms and planetary systems. Colonial toxicology employs the physical and social sciences, as well as non-Western sources of inquiry and data to frame, analyze, predict, prevent, and remedy the toxic effects of historical colonization and colonizer mental models. Micro-colonialisms, similar to microaggressions, are "subtle, stunning" experiences that are pervasive, yet often invisibilized, minimized, or dismissed.

Afro-Indigenous and Social Permaculture

Permaculture is a design praxis for creating regenerative, reciprocal, long-view human settlements based on nature's patterns. It is a collection of lenses, principles, and practices from various Indigenous cultures, distilled, codified, and popularized by two white Australian men. Rerooting permaculture in Afro-indigeneity demonstrates the decolonizing mindset of learning from and belonging to the land instead of owning and subjugating the land. Social permaculture takes the insights of permaculture and applies it to group dynamics and organization design.
