Systems Built for Practitioners by A Practioner

I built the resources I wish I had.

I’ve been in your shoes. You just want to do something that should be simple: create an environment where it’s easy for people to show up authentically, feel like they belong, do their work, and have equal access and equitable opportunities to grow. It shouldn’t be so damn hard to do right? But it was for me, and I set out to create a better way.

I’ve felt the pressure without the necessary resources, time, or team to create lasting DEI solutions. I’ve faced disappointed team members, navigated the chaos of not having a strategy, and hired expensive consultants with no real impact—I’ve experienced it all. This challenging journey inspired me to create Diversiology—the support system I wished for. I built the resources I wish I had because I understand your struggles, and I’m dedicated to helping DEI practitioners like you, especially those with constrained resources, overcome these obstacles.

We change the world, one story, one conversation, one action at a time.” I’ve built Diversiology so we can change the world together.
