Promoting Equity & Truth and Reconciliation
Central to my consulting practice is a commitment to advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) and Truth and Reconciliation within the cultural sector. I will work closely with organizations to embed EDI and TRC principles into their strategic planning processes, policies, and practices, fostering inclusive environments where all voices are heard and valued. Through partnership-building, targeted training, and capacity-building initiatives, I will support organizations in cultivating diverse leadership pipelines and fostering cultures of belonging and equity.
