  • The Power Of Intentional Community
    Jul 30 2024

    We are not meant to activate collective liberation alone.

    But between the isolating nature of entrepreneurship and past harmful experiences with so-called community members, “finding your people” as a justice-driven founder can feel really daunting at best and potentially unsafe at worst.

    This episode will break down the transformative power of building intentional and aligned relationships to support you in your restorative justice practice and how you can leverage your community to help you increase the reach, sustainability & impact of your justice advocacy.

    Tune in as I walk you through how white supremacy has tainted our understanding and practice of community, the significant difference between being a part of a community and building genuine relationship with our community members, and why community is such a powerful resource as you work to become an accountable justice advocate and protect your marginalized community members from harm in your community space.

    If you need help building equitable and aligned community relationships so you can step into your power as a disruptor, call out harm/white supremacy, and navigate accountability conversations with less shame, shrinking, and stress?

  • How to Build A Radically Safe Space For BIPOC, Queer & Marginalized Folks
    May 31 2024

    Are you committed to creating a truly safe community space?

    Whether you lead a justice-driven small business, community group, or an organization, this episode provides actionable insights to help you cultivate an environment where Black, brown, queer, and other marginalized folks can feel seen, supported, and safe.

    Today I’m sharing:

    • Three essential goals you need to prioritize and achieve so you can transform your small business or organization into a radically safe space that’s not just safe in name, but safe in practice
    • Why it’s important to ensure all of your community members are actively committed to disrupting oppressive systems and creating environments where marginalized folks can show up in their full humanity
    • The power of creating spaces where accountability is seen as a gift, instead of an attack and it’s safe to call out white supremacy behavior when we see it from our peers

    Are you ready to call out harm and white supremacy culture in your community spaces with less shame and stress so you can cultivate radical safety for your Black and brown community members?
