Journeys InEquity Consulting aims to improve workplace cultures, embedding an intersectional anti-oppressive and anti-racist lens to policies, practices and procedures to support alignment with an organization’s mission, values and vision.
Why We Do It
Journeys InEquity Consulting believes all schools, communities, organizations and sectors can and should practice being more equitable, inclusive, accessible and well-informed on an ongoing basis.
A continued commitment to recognize and challenge power dynamics and unconscious biases increases representation and belonging, while creating cultures of safety and respect, which ultimately is better for everyone.
We work with organizations to develop strategic and operational plans aimed at increasing support and representation for equity-deserving communities, including women, *BIPOC, people with disabilities, immigrants, *2SLGBTQIAP+ individuals and a range of marginalized demographics.
*Black, Indigenous and People of Colour.
*Two-Spirit, lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer, intersex, asexual, pansexual and more.
