“Our visions begin with our desires.” - Audre Lorde

Your vision - what you dream and believe is possible - guides the direction of your work and where your organization places its collective energy. Together, we will activate, engage and expand your team's imaginative capacities using worldbuilding activities and other creative, interactive modes of possibility gathering.

"We don't think of strategy out of nowhere; we think of it in relation to the main contradiction, the opportunities for action. " - shea howell

Who are you accountable to? What are their needs? How are your organization's efforts adequately addressing and honoring the needs of your beneficiaries? What is your role within the social change ecosystem? Grounding in your vision(s) and values, we will take a holistic exploration into the contextual landscapes that your efforts exist within, before charting out a detailed, intentional path forward that remains emergent to your group’s internal capacities. A snapshot of this work includes:

❖ Internal conditions mapping

❖ Ecosystem mapping

❖ Sociopolitical landscape analyses

❖ Power mapping

❖ Resource harvesting

“In the same way that constellations are a part of the galaxy, narratives are part of culture.” - Nayantara Sen

How we tell our stories shape, echo and illuminate the ways in which we understand ourselves and the world around us. Whether your organization is nurturing spaces of belonging or actively disrupting harmful narratives, we will weave together storytelling strategies that resonate more deeply and authentically.

“Research is formalized curiosity...It is a seeking that [they] who wish may know the cosmic secrets of the world and they that dwell therein.“ - Zora Neale Hurston

Exploring our curiosities and seeking to understand the world around us are innate to this human experience. I use decolonizing and liberatory frameworks, and culturally responsible approaches designed to shift power back into the hands of those directly impacted by inequity. A few examples of how this could look include:

❖ Evaluating the effectiveness and/or social value of your programming (Are we offering what our beneficiaries and communities actually need? Are we doing it well?)

❖ Assessing your group's internal capacities and appetite for equity work (Do we have the willingness, capacity and commitment to doing what is needed to do the right work?)

❖ Measuring your organization's impact and social change footprint (What impact are we truly creating?)

❖ Building out and implementing a research plan based on your unique inquiries
