Building inclusive cultures where diversity thrives.
The work of building communities where all people are valued is not new. We make progress, but for every step forward, there are forces that push us back. The work takes time and it will be ongoing, year after year. It continues in the learning and the building of new ways of doing things. It continues because true and equal opportunity for everyone remains unfinished.
If you are ready to make change in your organization or community, you need space to examine what is and an openness to learning new practices and what this work actually requires. Time is needed for practices to be tested, to take root and to grow— until they stop being something you do and become simply the way you do things: a culture where diversity is welcomed and expected, where every person feels genuinely part of your collective future. If this is what you seek, we can help you get there.
Services
KSG Collective facilitates learning spaces and open discussions where groups and teams work to move beyond the theory of diversity and belonging. Our services focus on what is needed to develop fair and inclusive processes, workplaces and services. We provide:
~ Interactive Learning Sessions: We create space for participants to learn, reflect, challenge assumptions, and gain the practical skills needed to lead with cultural humility and active allyship.
~ Facilitated Workgroups & Coaching. We lead (monthly/bi-monthly) sessions for Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and leadership teams to build deeper relationships. These help you build real support systems, designed to improve wellness and retention.
~ Insights & Assessment: We use data to tell the story of your workplace and community. Through surveys and listening sessions, we help you identify where your culture stands - and map a clear path forward.
~ Strategic Equity Planning. Translate values into action. We help you design year-long roadmaps that will help you align your mission with equitable practices.
The Collective
Sustainable change is a shared responsibility. When we approach equity as a collective effort,
our relationships and the respect that we show each other, become the foundation of everything we do.
True community is based on upon equality, mutuality, and reciprocity. It affirms the richness of individual diversity as well as the common human ties that bind us together.

I direct KSG Collective so that I can help people find their voice, be brave and take action. We need justice for so much that has done harm, which can only begin once we actually reflect on our relationships and see value in every person. We all deserve a fair opportunity to access, engage and thrive - at work, in school - and even when we make mistakes. After 20+ years of leading community impact initiatives and 8 years consulting, I've seem and helped many organizations change.
My goal is to help you reflect, learn and then focus on "how" you will progress. I have many examples of challenges faced and just as many examples of progress made by my clients.
This work helps me stay hopeful that a better world is possible.
I live in and work from New York City. I am also the Founder of Made for Me Books— a nonprofit that provides free books to young people in and around Harlem, with a focus on BIPOC stories, experiences and voices.
