equity & anti-oppression
Coach | Consultant | FACILITATOR
Many of us have been struck in recent years by what we’ve learned about racism and other forms of oppression in our culture, our relationships, our selves.
Many of us struggle to figure out how to make things better—without making things worse. I struggle, too.
As a long-time educator, sole proprietor, and student of equity with the goal of liberation, I’ve created some concrete tools to offer.

Events
I offer workshops, meetings and circles infused with the stuff of equity: shared voices, deep listening, non-hierarchical set-ups that convey anti-oppression sensibilities in their very structure. I facilitate alone or with fabulous colleagues.
What happened to my environmental commitment? Do I really actually have one? It feels...lost. Insubstantial. Fraudulent. Not really a commitment. A promise I didn't keep. Do you see what's happening here? I'm beginning to feel bad about myself. I believe I know why; it's something I learned from my anti-racism work—it's easier to feel bad about myself, to infuse my nervous system with the familiarity of guilt, fear, shame, and doubt, than it is to feel grief.
