Inclusivity and diversity feel a bit like overused buzz words these days. Everyone’s vying for attention with performative displays of “openness” while also not really understanding what that means. Even so, I feel it’s important to address. 

As a queer woman of color I understand what it feels like to be in a room full of people who don’t look or think like you. Never really feeling like you belong. Feeling as if you’re walking a lonely road.

As a coach I recognize the need for safe spaces for those that may not fit in the traditionally white, cis, heteronormative world that is coaching. 

You’ll find the landscape looks a bit different around these parts. 

Know that no matter your background, what you look like, how you identify, or who you choose to love, you are welcomed here.

I honor the uniqueness that is you.

I recognize the impact that systemic racism and other forms of oppression can have on our ability to move through the world, and I am committed to supporting you as you navigate those experiences.

I am also aware that my own identities and life lessons may not mirror yours, and sometimes there are things that I simply don’t know. I always aim to learn more and do better.

Know that you are safe with me. Who you are is celebrated and your voice is heard.

We’ll navigate this together.
