Welcome!

I am passionate about helping you dismantle structural racism and create impactful change. That’s why I created the Racial Equity Bootcamp.

I have seen many leaders struggle to make real progress with DEI, simply because they didn’t know how to address the “elephant in the room,” racial inequity.

Let’s stop thinking of DEI as a program or initiative, but as a way of doing business.

I would love to hear about the challenges you face, and help you decide if the Racial Equity Bootcamp is for you.
