Clarifying vision and practice

Practitioners of social justice need space to dream together, reimagine oppressive structures, look beyond the immediate horizons of their work, and then build the muscles required to bring their visions into being. As a consultant and facilitator, I enjoy supporting groups to do this work: aligning around a shared vision, clarifying their role in realizing it, and exploring how to shift and strengthen their daily practices in ways that bring them closer to it.

Realizing a bold vision usually requires a reimagination of the structures and habits that reinforce the status quo, and this is challenging work in an interdependent world where time and resources often feel so limited. Through support for strategic visioning, reflective practice, action-oriented inquiry, and accountable goal setting, my consulting practice aims to accompany organizations and networks through the critical imaginings and reimaginings that social justice work demands. This includes supporting groups, and particularly funders, to seed and sustain the innovative structures and communities of practice required to stay accountable to the movements and communities that their work centers—whether those structures exist inside or outside of their institutions.
