I work with organisations who want to actively and meaningfully tackle systemic oppressions to create more generative conditions and cultures internally and externally. I apply an intersectional anti-oppressive and decolonial lens to support organisations in their efforts towards equity, inclusion and justice through collaboratively co-creating solutions that address the symptoms and root causes of systemic oppression.
My approach is emergent. I work to consciously name, expose and actively interrupt systems of harm in action. I do this by embedding the principles and practices of anti-oppression, anti-racism, transformative justice, disability justice, feminism and womanism.
Unlearning dominant systems that we are all conditioned into can bring up discomfort and conflict. I believe that this is central to the process of change, and that conflict is a place from which new possibilities can emerge. I hold space for this and encourage bringing honesty, openness and curiosity to the process of self-exploration and unlearning that needs to take place in order to bring about real systemic change.
I centre those most marginalised and support co-creation to ensure that any change the organisation makes internally or externally is equitable and doesn’t further perpetuate harm.
I acknowledge that systems change is a long-term process and that mistakes might be made along the way. I support organisations through this process by helping facilitate difficult conversations, envisioning change using an anti-oppressive and intersectional lens, ensuring that nuances of experience are understood rather than tokenised.
I often work with other trainers, facilitators and consultants with lived experience of different marginalisations to offer organisations a more holistic approach to anti-oppression work.
