DEI Consultation Reviews 

 

 

  • "I feel so good about it. Antoinetta was able to articulate things that I haven't been able to put into words, clearing up what we have been doing and what more we can do going forward." 


  •  "Antoinetta was extremely helpful in uncovering ways that our firm can put actionable DEI initiatives into place now and as we continue to grow our firm. She listened to our current structure and the culture that we want to have and was able to discuss detailed ways to make the greatest impact. At her core, she wants to see the businesses she works with succeed in their DEI initiatives and the suggestions she makes encouraged us to put them into action not just now but as a framework for how we build our company." 


  • "Antoinetta was very helpful in pointing out action items that we could take to get started and continue making DEI a part of our company's social responsibility goals going forward."


  • "Antoinetta provided us with concrete steps for how to move forward, in the direction we wanted to go, but with feasible tactics for achieving our goals."


Training Reviews 


  • "Antoinetta's presentation was part of a weekend itinerary, and unanimously hers was rated the highest and most valuable. She engaged the group in substantive discussion in a way that enabled all to participate without anyone feeling marginalized. She more than met our expectation of involving the participants in what turned out to be an enormously important part of their orientation weekend." 


  • "Antoinetta got us off to an amazing start and laid a really solid foundation in a short period of time.  The members of the group have appreciated her leadership and learned a ton in just a few months."


  •  "The session was very informative and I've been to many over the years. I truly enjoyed this one. I liked that everyone got involved." 


  • "It got to the heart of the matter with the group and included individual discussions on topics that we all need to learn. Some good practical suggestions that should be easy to implement."


  • "Interactivity, no judgment, engaging."


  • "Thoroughly enjoyed her dynamic attitude and energy. It was great."

December 2020 


 Topic: How to Change your DEI Culture in One Month 


While many organizations use the buzzwords diversity,’ ‘equity,’ and ‘inclusion’ as a value, employees can’t articulate actions by their leadership around this pivotal issue. If you want to ignite excitement and purpose around DEI at your workplace, this session will provide actionable steps you can take to spearhead change at any size organization, and share resources including a workplace checklist, tips on how to form a DEI working group, and statistics that help support your case for DEI.

Meals on Wheels America Race Matters and the Meals on Wheels Network

September 2020


At the heart of our Meals on Wheels mission is health, compassion, safety, and connection for all of America’s seniors who are in greatest economic and social need.  And while our programs serve racially, ethnically and socioeconomically diverse populations, and racial equity has been championed in organizations across the country, the reality is unconscious bias and systemic racism still exists leaving many people both outside and inside our organizations not treated equally. This Listen & Learn Panel discussion provides an opportunity for Black Meals on Wheels professionals to share their insights and experiences both personally and professionally as we all witness one of the largest social justice movements since the 1960’s. Join us in our journey to listen, learn and challenge our own beliefs so that we can better serve our communities and more equitably run our organizations.

AFP NC Triangle, August Insight: Creating Safe Spaces for Authentic Diversity Conversations

AFP NC Triangle, August Insight: Creating Safe Spaces for Authentic Diversity Conversations

NC Center for Nonprofits, EDI Roundtables for Nonprofit Executives: Partnerships & Collaboration

 August 2020


This year workplaces have been having “courageous conversations” about race, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) more than ever. How do you ensure that this hot topic is a part of strategic conversations long-term? As the United States and workforce continue to become more diverse, having the skills, knowledge, and ability to have difficult conversations about race and DEI with staff, board members, donors, funders, and other stakeholders will be critical.


This session will focus on three areas:

  1. Stakeholder Engagement
  2. Cultural Audits
  3. Building Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

Helped lead a courageous conversation with 20+ Association of Fundraising Professional of the Triangle members. "This Wake Up Wednesday, we’ll be engaging in conversation about diversity, equity, and inclusion in the context of national and local events in the wake of George Floyd’s death. Solutions to the systemic issues in our own sector are long overdue and sluggish, and our responsibility to address systemic racism, act and advocate for racial justice and equity, and support our community is more urgent than ever."
