Dismantling Racism and Decolonization
We support organizations in dismantling racism and decolonization while working towards the goal of being in good relationship.
We provide:
- Customized workshops (design and delivery)
- Organizational assessments
- Collecting and reporting community (stakeholder) input
- Staff or committee training and coaching
Our customized workshops can include content on:
- Understanding systemic racism
- Understanding colonization, decolonization, exploring truth and reconciliation
- Examining White Culture, White Supremacy
- Exploring Cultural Competency, Cultural Safety
- Exploring power, privilege, intersectionality
- Providing skills, awareness for addressing racism, colonization at individual level
- Building organizational capacity to work from anti-racist approach
Our philosophy:
It’s our belief that all individuals and organizations have the capacity to be in good relationship. We strive to help people understand and counter various forms of oppression, particularly racism and colonization, in ways that support good relationship.
While we work for an anti-oppression and systems approach, we know this work is heart work. For us, this work means co-creating new ways of being in relationship. It involves listening, learning, unlearning, shifting, and making mistakes. It requires time, truth, and good process. It takes love, courage, and humility.
Jackie was very trauma-informed by letting us know what was expected ahead of all conversations. She was also so invested in the material that it added an additional layer of meaning to this work.

Planning & Evaluation
Strategic Planning
We support organizations in working through their values to design and realize their futures.
We seek to ensure the planning process best fits your organization and is an engaging experience. Each planning process is co-designed with your organization’s goals, community, and resources in mind.
For the planning process, we assist with:
- Stakeholder engagements (focus groups, surveys, interviews)
- Research
- Facilitation
- Reporting
Design and Evaluations
We help you learn from the community by collecting feedback and guidance. We also support projects or collaborations as you plan or design your ongoing work.
Jackie has got the experience and gumption that a facilitator needs. She knows the delicate balance of keeping a meeting moving along while still making sure that everyone’s voice gets heard, and she is skilled in the art of distilling a ton of ideas into a thorough, yet palatable, end product. It is with the utmost confidence that I recommend her services to my colleagues.
